Well, that calculator is taking into account almost every recessive trait known to rabbitkind.:rolleyes: If you were dealing with Netherland Dwarfs, or Holland Lops, or some other breed that people breed in all colors willy-nilly, some of those genes might be lurking; the calculator is working...

The highest probability is Chestnut. Since someone has been blending colors with the NZ, it's possible she might be carrying REW (c), so you might get Chinchillas. If your buck is pure a purebred Am Chin, that's about as much variability as I'd expect to see; if someone has done some...

Well, they were very careful to go through all the steps in the trials, and get as much variability in their test groups as possible, so naturally, there wouldn't be many surprises. That is the whole reason for doing the trials, you know - making sure it's safe and effective. In the119 days...

Dontcha love it when "help" is almost more trouble than it's worth?:th Hope it all goes better than you even dare to hope!:)

https://www.wect.com/2021/04/13/fda-cdc-recommend-pause-johnson-johnson-covid-vaccine/ I'd been waiting to hear this. From what I understand, this type of blood clot is normally such a rare occurrence, to even have it happening as a literally 1-in-a-million event is still noteworthy. As...

If you are talking about allergic reactions in reference to that article, it's more like "one of the 1," not 18 - only one person had an actual allergic reaction. The other 17 experienced things like dizziness, nausea, fainting; quite distressing, but not involving an immune response (which is...

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html "Over 167 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through April 5, 2021. During this time, VAERS received 2,794 reports of death (0.00167%) among people who...

That's the reason for the masks and social distancing, after all - "just in case" you could be shedding virus and don't know it. :idunno As you said, now that you know you were exposed, the responsible thing to do is self quarantine (ugh!):rolleyes: Hope the time goes quickly and you all remain...

Well, as we all know, viruses can't replicate on their own; they have to be grown in some kind of living tissue. While many vaccines are made with viruses grown in chicken eggs, the word is that SARS CoV-2 cannot be grown that way. Does anybody know what sort of cell line is used to produce...

@Baymule Had you seen this article on the subject of the Covaxin vaccine? If Bharat Biotech has been partnered with Ocugen since December, it may not be all that long before we hear that Covaxin is coming soon to a clinic near you! (That's a joke for us old folks, for those who missed it)...

Wow. There is bias practically screaming from almost every sentence of that video; it reminds me of an example of "bad science" that was used when I was in college ("at the end of our study, we will show that blah, blah, blah . . ."). Somebody obviously checked their objectivity at the door on...

Actually, vitamin D is fat-soluble, so it can build up in the body. Your 2000 -2500 iu daily dose is well below the maximum that is considered safe for a healthy adult (4000 iu/day), so the likelihood of inducing hypercalcemia is extremely remote, but it is always good to proceed with caution...

What they ^^^^ said. Some are credible news agencies like the AP and NBC; here's something from a company that claims to be a lumber manufacturer https://www.connerindustries.com/why-are-lumber-prices-really-so-high/ (not being a buyer of commercial lumber products, I have no idea whether this...

Covid is part of the problem, in that it caused a reduction in production at American lumber mills (some by necessity, some by design). The other part is huge tariffs slapped on imported lumber by the previous administration (this is how we keep America great, folks!) :rolleyes: Happy Easter...

Registration is usually reserved for the creme-de-la-creme show animals, simply because it's an added expense that a meat breeder just doesn't need. Most show breeders only bother with registering a rabbit after it has won a class or two, because they don't need the expense, either (plus, a...

The "alphabet soup" for a Smoke Pearl Marten is: at_B_cchlcddE_ or at_B_cchlchddE_ Two copies of the shaded/sable/light chinchillation gene (cchlcchl) is a Seal, an animal that is such a dark brown color as to look very nearly black, with somewhat lighter shading. The dilute version, the Blue...

If you breed New Zealand Blacks and New Zealand Reds together, one of the colors that you could get (after a couple of generations) is Tortoiseshell. And incidentally, though there is a breed that is called Cinnamon, they are Tortoiseshell in color. (But if you want to get really confusing, some...

I have to agree - whether male or female, sheep or goat, you don't ever want to encourage one to think that butting you is an OK thing to do, especially if you have children around. The animal may be playing, but people can still get hurt. Shoot, my goats occasionally knocked me down during...

Texas A &M University - Kingsville. They have a rabbit breeding program there; one of the "breeds" that they produced, which they call the Composite (because it was developed from many different breeds) has the reputation for being quite heat tolerant, and comes in almost every color in the...

Before you even start, you need to know that the ARBA standards committee stated a number of years ago that they won't consider adding anything as a new breed that could be described as being like an already existing breed, just in a different color or coat type. Whatever someone wants to...
