Hi everyone
I aim for magpies and harlequins. If I have a magpie doe, what color should I breed her to get more magpies and harlequins?
I have a tort(he could also be an orange) but I don’t know if breeding him will result in more magpies or probably just torted harlequins.
I would get a pair of magpies if that’s what it takes to have a litter of magpies. However, I also like to have two or three harlequins in a litter. If there’s a combination that would give me harlequins and magpie babies please help me!
thanks for any rely!!!
 
You'll have to understand genetics to answer your questions. Here's a good article on breeding tricolor lops (which is a broken harlequin)
https://gardenshedbunnies.weebly.com/breeding-tricolors.htmlMagpie's are just harlequins that carry the the chinchilla gene in the C locus.
Here's another good article on the subject:

Thanks you! I did lots of research online on genetics and I’ve seen the second article. I’m pretty idiotic when comes to genetics but I’ll be learning😂I found them helpful though!
