Re: Color
Like I said, it will be only a 25% chance of the foal being pearl expression (that's 1 in 4 foals), However, there is a 50% chance of the offspring also being pearl carriers. So even if it's not expressed, they still have a chance of having pearl and throwing pearl expressed offspring.PeacefulOreo wrote:BlackOak2 wrote:...

But I agree, it hasn't been two good births, you missed both pearl expression and silver, although the chestnut might be hiding the silver gene.
Keep trying, it will happen, but it will take time.

Take your best filly from that pearl stud (a direct daughter) and breed it back to him. It might take a couple breed-backs but it will give you a pearl offspring.
I'd recommend a silver dapple, if you have one. If not, then a black girl.
It does appear those pearl genes are being a bit shy.

Re: Color
I'm also getting a mare of that color. So how do I get the foals of that mare to give the same color?BlackOak2 wrote:I do see that the pearl hasn't come out yet.PeacefulOreo wrote:

...........pr....................n....
pr | foal #1=pr/pr | foal #2=pr/n
n | foal #3=pr/n | foal #4=n/n
whereas both parents are pearl carriers but neither have the pearl expression
foal #1 is a foal expression
foals #2 & #3 are pearl carriers
foal #4 is neither an expression or a carrier
As long as the mare is a true pearl expression (with pink skin and dark eyes) and Is Not a champagne carrier (just for ease of identification), then she would be a pr/pr, a pearl expression.
You can use the mare to cross into the best colts you have already produced. Every foal from that stud is already a pearl carrier, so you have a 50/50 chance of producing pearl offspring, but Every Foal from that mare Will Be a pearl carrier.
Of course, if you were to cross a pearl expression with another pearl expression (that sire to the new mare) Every foal will be pearl expressed.

The more pearls and pearl carriers you add in to your project, the greater chance and eventually, you'll have nothing but pearls galore.
