genetics question

[bunnychild]

Hi I was wondering if I breed a broken chestnut and a solid chestnut how would they look and would they be show quality?

Thanks for your time

you would get broken and solid chestnuts most likely. But it depends on the lineage of the parents. What breed are the rabbits? Some breeds accept that variety and some dont.

Definitely check the standards and colors accepted with breeds. You don't want to breed a color that could not be shown. Unless you are looking to breed pets.

And it all depends on the lineage of the parents of what you will find in your nestbox.
