Do you think this works?

This is awsome! But do you think it really works? lol

Most likely it does. There are plenty of programs that do things like that. On is even included with the Deluxe version of Evans Software.

It is very hard to know the exactgenotype of a rabbit to know exactly what you will get,but with the variety picker it should give you a general idea of what colors to expect.

Didnt work for me, i typed in Fawn X Black and it come up with chesnut 100%, in that litter i got no chestnut.

That is probably because your rabbits had other things hiding that you didn't know about. What colors did you get in that litter?

The program only gives the most likely variety produced if you just enter the color of the rabbits. If you enter full genotypes for the rabbits, it's far more accurate. You have to know genetics well to be able to utilize the program to its full potential.

I think it'd be good for a guess if you only knew the colours, just for fun. If you knew the genotypes it'd work right?

I did black X tortoiseshell and it said black 100%, but my rabbits have had two grey (possibly seal) babies, and the rest have been black.

Yes, it would be more accurate if you actually knew the genotypes. It only calculates homozygous genotypes when you enter only the color.

It would be correct that a black aaBBCCDDEE x tort aaBBCCDDee could only produce black. The program doesn't account for recessives unless you enter genotypes.

Both perants are pedigreed and have no chesnut in there pedigree, he litter was Black, White & Fawn.

When I looked it up fawn was listed as A- B- C- dd ee and black of course is aa B- C- D- E- . So if we assume the second gene represented by the - is only dominant with no hidden recessives we are crossing AA BB CC dd ee with aa BB CC DD EE and every offspring will get one A , one B, one C, one d, and one e from the fawn and one a, B, C, D, and E from the black resulting in Aa BB CC Dd Ee or 100% chestnut. Unless you are referring to another genotype as fawn.

Black and agouti in rabbits does keep confusing me since my genetics classes were on horses and black/red is E and e in horses with the agouti gene A being bay or not bay and having no impact on ee genotypes.
