Awww they are so cute, with similar patterns. Im guessing white bellies, with large black spots. Some with red background, some with tan.
What the babies are going to look like?? Best guesses...
Dam, Nigerian Dwarf (Josephine) is a broken buckskin (tricolor), beautiful blue eyes, naturally polled, frosted tricolor ears and nose, has thrown broken buckskin, tricolor babies in the past (pics of previous babies attached) She has wattles. Both of her parents had blue eyes, but unsure what color they were.
Sire, Nigerian Dwarf (Enzo) is San Clemente (classic buckskin), blue eyes, horned, first time breeder (Josephine is the first doe he has ever bred), his dam was gold with brown eyes, his sire was black and tan swiss marked with blue eyes. He doesn't have wattles.
What are yalls guesses as to what the babies will be? What color? Horned or polled? Blue eyes or brown eyes? Wattles or none (please have wattles, I ADORE wattles) Josie is due in May so I'm making this thread so I don't go crazy in the meantime waiting on her to give birth.
First two pics are of Dam, second two are of Sire, last two are of her previous babies.

Okay I am ready to guess!!
Josephine could be three options: Buckskin/Black, Buckskin/Sundgau, or Buckskin/Buckskin, since we don't know her parents. She is B/B or B/b for Eyes, W/W or W/w for Wattles, and P/P or P/p for Horns.
Enzo is Buckskin/Black because he is visibly not carrying Swiss, and Buckskins cannot carry Gold. He is B/b for Eyes, w/w for Wattles, and p/p for Horns.
Keeping all color combinations in mind for Josephine's pattern...
Per kid, there is a...
Pattern:
- 75% to 100% chance of Buckskin
- 0% to 25% chance of Black
- 0% to 25% chance of Sundgau
Eyes:
- 50% to 100% chance for blue eyes
- 50% to 100% chance for wattles (only 50% chance if one of Josephine's parents didn't have wattles)
- 50% to 100% chance to be polled (only 50% chance if one of Josephine's parents wasn't polled)
I'm guessing twins. Statistically likely to both be buckskins. One with blue eyes, and one with brown. One with horns, and one polled. One with wattles, and one without. Let us know what you get!
This is very interesting!! Love to learn more about genetics, I’ll have to keep doing my researchOkay I am ready to guess!!

Thank you @MadHouse! I was trying to find this thread unsuccessfully 😅
doeling #1 is a dark buckskin, white poll, blue eyes, a small white patch under her front left leg. Otherwise unmarked. Personality wise she’s a mellow little girl and is very sweet.

Doeling #2 is a beautiful light reddish buckskin, white poll, blue eyes, frosted ears and nose, random white speckling along her sides, round white spot over her hip almost like a moon spot but very little. Personality wise she’s the spunky one of the two and love love loves to be cuddled.
