shared post – Before we get into the heart of the matter, I need to remind you that the broken pattern is just that: a pattern, not a base color. Broken can overlay on “top” of any other color; a black rabbit with the broken pattern will be a broken black; likewise, an otter-colored rabbit with […]
shared post One of the first color genes to understand is the A Locus, which determines whether the hairs are banded or solid, and what base pattern the color expression of a rabbit is. First the cheat sheets, then a discussion of “test breeding” to determine genetics; then all breeding percentages for the A Locus. […]
shared post Although the D Locus (dilution) does affect rabbits who are Agouti or Tan/Otter, for this introduction let’s stick to Self rabbits. As we know from this previous discussion of the A Locus, a Self rabbit is a solid-colored animal. We will discuss the D Locus and how it affects Agouti and Tan rabbits in future […]
shared post Be aware that dwarf genes are in many breeds and in fact are desirable for show purposes in a number of smaller breeds, such as Mini Rex, Netherland Dwarf, Jersey Wooly, Holland Lop, and Lionheads, just to name a few! A quick discussion on breeding dwarf-to-dwarf: Do not be hasty to judge a […]
shared post For the purposes of understanding recessive Chocolate, I am assuming that all non-Chocolate rabbits are black. It is best to understand simple recessive genes before adding the pressures of other color modifiers such as Dilution. Such topics will be entertained at a future time. CLIFF’S NOTES FOR RECESSIVE CHOCOLATE: If you don’t […]
shared post Before we get to the cheat sheets, you need to remember that a Blue Eyed White will “hide” the base color of the rabbit in it’s homozygous form. Thus a “black” rabbit who has two copies of the Vienna gene (V/V) will appear white with blue eyes. Also, I cannot stress it […]
A locus is the location of the gene, and an allele is a mutation form of that location. So each locus has at least two alleles (forms) when we are discussing mutations. One locus is the black locus. It has extended black, fawn, recessive black, wild type and (i believe) lethal yellow is also on […]

Poultry Genetics For Small and Backyard Flocks: An Introduction – eXtension If you breed poultry or are considering breeding poultry, a basic knowledge of poultry genetics is important.
