My Breeding Herd

[WylieCoyote]

I have one purebred Champagne d'argent. The rest have some CdA in them. Any ideas on the formal color names?

My bucks are all blue-eyed.

so the first looks the closest to the SOP. Chandler, Monica, Rachael, and Joey all look vienna marked. ross looks like an orange. joey, monica, rachael, and chandler would be vm chestnut which isn't surprising since orange and chestnut are common colors together

Phoebe is a red eye white. Breeder says she has some CdA in her, but the part NZ must have dominated.?

The red eyes just mean the rabbit is albino, which can be any breed. Albino = __ __ cc __ __, which would be Phoebe's color genes.
Phoebe REW = __ __ cc __ __

Janice - champange , not sure what the genetics for the silvering of champagne might be, it's not a color that English angoras come in.

Rachel - tort? VM Rachel looks like the only self in the bunch, unless CdA is also a 'self' color. aa B_C_D_ee would be Rachel's genes.

Chandler VM agouti Chandler is pretty much all dominants. A_B_C_D_E_

Monica - VM? part dutch? agouti blue eyes but not white. Not sure how those blue eyes show up and the bunny not be white. Also a big white patch and stripe may be more than just Vienna gene for that? Well, agouti under all that, same as Chandler.

Ross VM fawn - fawn is an agouti based color. A_ B_ C_ D_ee. Kinda the tortoiseshell version done in agouti. There's additional rufus genes that turn a fawn into a red and the dilute version is cream, I think.

Joey VM agouti - another all dominants A_B_C_D_E_

Lots of Vienna, possibly whoever you got them from was breeding for Blue Eyed Whites.

If you breed Rachel to each buck in turn, you'll be able to possibly find out if the bucks have a 'self' recessive gene (a) to go with their dominant Agouti gene. If they have the recessive for self colors, then about half the litter should be self colors such as black, chocolate, etc.

FWIW, 'agouti' is a color pattern which has the white around the eyes, in the ears, the undercarriage, etc.
