RE: Instructional Breeding Project (Week *2* Kitty Info!)
The main difference between Liriel's suggestion of using a more dominant trait to pick up the recessive and expose it has the advantage of giving a provably pure trait (shown and hidden will be Poppy's recessive). The odds, per box, is 1-in-4.
Using a more recessive yields a hybrid (hiding the recessive) but has odds, per box, of 1-in-2.
So, it's a judgement call, get a pure trait, slower, or get a hybrid, sooner.
My bend is to go for the hybrid because, if you go for the discovery first, you minimize resource expenses (food, prims, your time) during the discovery phase.
