What color horse will you get if you breed a bay horse with a bay horse?

Answer 1

u never no wat colour ur horse will b even if u breed blue roan with blue roan u wont nescessarily get a blue roan foal. It works sort of like our hair colour. If both ur parents have red hair the doesn't mean ull have red hair u might have blonde, or brown hair. if this is in regard the the game Howrse (www.howrse.com), then u don't no until 4 months b4 the birth anything about the foal.

Go to this website and it gives you good info about what colour foal you'll probably get:

Answer 2

that would depend on the genetic makeup of the horses. whether they are homozygous, heterozygous, hybrid,

it also depends on the stallion as well , the mare needs to carry that certain gene to produce a certain colour , if she doesn't have the gene then she can't produce a foal of that colour same goes for the father as well

New person: try going to http://www.horsetesting.com/CCalculator1.asp i found its really good for finding out what chance you have of getting a certain colour foal from certain coloured parents you dont even need to know what genes the parent horse has though it does help

Answer 3

You have several different possibilities, depending on the genetic makeup of the two horses. Some of the factors that are not apparent are whether the roan is homozygous for roan (he carries two genes for it), whether he is homozygous for black, and whether the palomino carries the gene for bay, either in one or two copies.

Some of the possibilities are: Palomino, buckskin, smokey black, sorrel, bay, black, red roan, blue road, bay roan, or a palomino or buckskin with roaning.

If the roan has two genes for roan, you will get a roan no matter what. If it has two genes for black, you will NOT get a palomino, sorrel or red roan. Otherwise, there is a 50% chance of getting any roan.

In general, there is a 50% chance of getting something with the dilute (palomino) gene. These include palominos, buckskins, and smokey blacks.

Answer 4

It depends on each horse's genetics as to what the colour of the foal is. Any number of different combinations is possible within black, chestnut, bay, bay roan, strawberry roan and possibly even blue roan (roan on a black base).

Given what you've already said about the horse's colouring, the possible genetics of the bay horse would be Ee/Aa, EE/Aa, EE/AA

Whilst the genetics of the strawberry roan horse could be ee/AA/Rnrn, ee/Aa/Rnrn, ee/AA/RNRN, ee/Aa/RNRN

Answer 5

Most of the time a bay,but if it is mixed with another breed you may get a different color.For example if you breed a bay and another bay but one of them is mixed with a sorrel color you might get a sorrel horse

Answer 6

Palomino Roan could be --eeRnrn or --eeRnRn color genetics at the agouti site are unknown...but could be somewhat determined by the colors of the parents and grandparents.

Bay Roan could be A-EeRnrn, A-EeRnRn or A-EERnrn, A-EERnRn.

If either horse is RnRn all foals produced will be Roan.

If both horses are Rnrn 75% chance of a roan foal.

50% chance that the foal will have the Creme dilution gene.

Base coat color could be bay black or chestnut based on the color genetics of the

mare and stallion.

If the bay horse is Ee there is a 50% chance of the foal being red based, either chestnut or palomino.

If the bay horse is EE no foal can be red based.

If a non red (chestnut) based foal is born there is a 50% chance that the foal will be bay or buckskin if the bay horse or the palomino horse is Aa at the agouti site or 100% chance of bay or buckskin if the the bay horse or palomino horse is AA at the agouti site.

If both parents carry a there is a 25% chance of a black or smokey black foal and, of course if the palomino is aa at the agouti site and the bay is Aa the chance of black or smokey black increases to 50%.

14.58%Buckskin

14.58% bay.

8.33% Gray (palomino)

8.33%gray (chestnut)

8.33% palomino

8.33%chestnut

2.08% gray (smoky black)

2.08% smoky black

2.08%black.
