The Breeder's Shed

The Coat Lab

Pick a buck and a doe, and see every kit they could have, painted by the game, with the odds. It runs the game's own inheritance for all fourteen coat genes.

Start from Gran's rabbits, any breed, or a random rabbit from the market, then open "Edit genes" to set any gene by hand.

Their kits

Hidden genes are "?" and filled in from how common each version is, the way the game's pairing sheet does it.

The odds

Breed a litter

A real litter, dealt by the game's rules. If it gives a hidden gene away, the parents' cards update, just as in the game.

Gene by gene

A Punnett square for each gene where something could change: the buck's two copies down the side, the doe's along the top. Each kit gets one copy from each parent, so each square is one chance in four. A shaded square is a kit that shows the hidden version.

What the genes do

The game's genetics are simplified but real: these are the genes rabbit breeders use, with the same dominance. Silvering arrives with The Silver Country and satin with Across the Brook.
