I recently purchased a doe from a breeder getting out of mini Rex. She is bred to a Magpie mini Rex buck. Breeder seemed to think the doe was a broken Magpie. She was called Broken Blue on another forum. My question is....if she is NOT Magpie, what will her kits be? I do not own the buck (even tho I tried to buy him as well) She had her kits today, but I have not gotten good pics yet. They look blue, but 2 seem to have a triangle of pink skin on the back of the neck, 2 look self blue. I don't have a pedigree on her, so I am not sure what she might be carrying. But none of the kits are look broken to me. So I assume he doesn't carry broken. I do know she had a sibling that was booted black. So that modifier is floating in there as well possibly.
Do I need magpie on both sides to make more magpie? Or will they just all be carrying it?
Could the 2 kits be otter or silver marten? Does that mean both parents carry that or just one maybe??
Would there be any other color they could be? They all 4 look blue to me.
If she is JUST BLUE....her eyes should be dark?
If she IS broken magpie.....I would assume they will all be magpie of some sort?? Maybe booted magpie??
IF she IS broken Magpie....her eyes should be what color?
I am relearning genetics here, so sorry if these are bad questions. Thanks for any wisdom shared. I will try to get some pics of the kits and of her.
