Copper breeding

[alicit]

I have a question: I bred a pair of Red Coppers today and got a Red Copper egg. My daughter bred a Brown Copper to a Spitfire a few days ago and got a Brown Copper egg. Do colours for Coppers always breed true or were these just coincidences? What have your results been, if you have bred yours?

My results have been no interest, no egg, no interest, so I cannot help!

They're saying on the forums that it depends on the biome the partner comes from. So PBs always breed true, but mixed pairs will be Red if the partner is from the Alpine/Forest, Brown from the Desert/Volcano, Green from the Coast/Jungle. I know some people were wondering what would happen if the partner was born/bred pre-biome, but I didn't see if that question has been settled yet. Or what happens if the partner is multi-biome, like the rares and holidays, although it appears to be random, from dancing_serpent's examples below.

That would fit with your daughter's experience also, since Spitfires are from the Desert, so would breed Brown Coppers.

I hadn't thought of that, but it makes sense, thanks.
