Breeding questions

[Bunzy]

Hey guys, I have a magpie holland lop doe that I’ve been breeding to a chinchilla, I found someone is selling a magpie male very good type. Should I buy him to breed both magpies together? If I did breed them what kind of babies would they have?

I would depend a lot on their different hidden genes, but you’d probably get quite a few magpies.

A black magpie’s genotype is:
A_ B_ c(chd)_ D_ e(j)_

So the e(j) and c(chd) are the ones that you’d probably want to study the most if you want to understand the genetics behind the the magpie color better.
Here are some good links:
c(chd)
e(j)

I’m definitely not the best with genetics on here so someone else might be able to tell you more.
