So, via the ASF forum I have figured out the pattern genetics: Three types:
1. Pied with white head and butt
2. Mask with white stripe and belly
3. Self solid colored
I'm using these different traits to set up my breeding groups from now on so that I will know who the mother is based on the babies patterns. (That is assuming I can catch each litter before multiple litters are all piled in one corner...:rolleyes:) If nothing else, it will give me a better idea of if certain females are producing regularly...etc.
However, I still can't figure out how the color genetics work. In my collection now, I'm seeing the Cinnamon color and beige. But, how do they cross? Like I know that two selfs make all selfs, but what does a beige self and a cinnamon self make? Or I know that two pieds make all pieds, but what does a beige pied and a cinnamon pied make?
Thanks!
