Daughter just sent me a pic of a snake in her lap

She trying to give you a heart attack ?
How is your GB ? growing like a weed I bet.

You breed rabbits from the same gentic background to each other. So maybe 2nd cousins, or grandfather to granddaughter. Maybe one side of a pedigree in common, but the other side different.

And they call that line breeding ?

Cap, How many tolbunt do you have now and are they laying yet ?

4 females, 3 males. The frizzle i just bought is supposed to be a year and a half, but has not laid an egg since i got her.

they stop laying when they are moved to a new place BUT if she was laying you should of got one egg anyway because it would of already been made.

so you would prefer in my case Porter breeding his daughters instead of Tibbits (1/2) brother breeding his sisters.

I would first compare conformation and decide what qualities the bull could contribute that the cow is lacking or needing improvement.

But she may have laid earlier that day, i got her at night and she had been moved. Idk.

hum that could be tricky as Tibbits isn't full grown yet. BUT I have a couple years before I really need to worry.

If one of the new cows you are buying is pregnant w/ a bull you could do that. Line breeding sounds the same as inbreeding to me. Remember a story mom told me about 2nd cousins marrying and 4 children something wrong with 3 of them.
