TAP Homestead And Rabbitry, Canton, TX (469)-526-3665. Sunday, July 24, 2016. Breeding For Brokens and Charlie's. The English Spotting Gene:. Broken Pattern (Enen) or (En, en). Charlie Pattern (EnEn) or (En, En). No Pattern or Spots (enen) or (en, en). So let's look at some possible pattern combinations when we breed a:. Solid (en, en) to Solid (en, en) = 100% solids. Solid to solid will give you 100% solids, no ifs or buts here. You will get the occasional broken here, but with three 'En' allele's and o...

TAP Homestead And Rabbitry, Canton, TX (469)-526-3665. Thursday, August 25, 2016. Linebreeding Meat Rabbits For Food and Profit. So what does a genetically stable bloodline look like? Well with linebreeding the goal is to be able (after several generations) to produce a specific generation that still has 50% of each of the genome of the original parents used as your foundation stock. Sounds almost impossible right? So, how did we arrive at these figures? The next generation will produce kits having one-h...

TAP Homestead And Rabbitry, Canton, TX (469)-526-3665. Monday, July 4, 2016. New Zealand Rabbit Genetics: Dominant And Recessive Gene's. So what exactly does all this dominant and recessive gene mumbo jumbo mean? Alleles: Are different versions of the same gene that can occupy the same position on a particular chromosome and control the same characteristic such as hair or eye color. Rabbits are diploid organisms because they have two alleles, one at each genetic locus, with one allele inherited from ...

So what exactly is corning? So where did I get the idea for corning rabbit? Well the credit must go to John Fugozzie who posted a recipe on corning rabbit on the 'Hostile Hare' Facebook page.
