Playing with rabbit color calculator...

I put in my blue buck and then picked a few different ones to represent my confusing himi. When I put in chocolate point it gave me 100% black as a result. 100%??? Really? She could be chocolate point or blue or whatever but that calculation confused me.

Some calculators only show the most likely color(s) that the genes are dominant.

High babybluemon. I have this issue too with every calculator I've played with. I know it's more of an effort but I nw sit down with a coffee and pencil and paper. I usually have an idea what colour I'm after and work backwards.

I gave up on calculators. It's nice to have an idea, but in my opinion they're never 100% correct, and I don't expect them too. Would they know my Opal doe hides non-extension? No, because I didn't know until a Fawn popped out of her.

Fuzzypatch has a good point. You'd need a calculator with so many alle options nit to mention the modifiers etc.. Fine for straightforward high school genetics but not sure about reds, hotots and the like.
