I have questions about broken magpies of all sorts…
Question 1: What is the difference between broken magpies and broken blacks/blues? How can I tell if I have a broken magpie?
Question 2: Is she a broken magpie?

Question 3: What would the outcome be bred with these bucks? Which one would be most likely to give magpie?
View attachment 3888462This is my blue buck. When bred with tri’s and harlequins, he mainly gave blacks.

View attachment 3888485This is my tri buck. When bred with tri’s and harlequins, I get black/orange and blue/fawn harlequins and tri’s.

Question 4: Kind of a silly question, but I bought my broken magpie labeled “broken SILVER magpie”. Is “silver magpie” a coloring, or would she be considered a broken blue magpie?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
