    As far as a bay mare and a dun stud, If the stud is Homozygous for the dun modifier, the foals will all be duns of one shade or another (either the stud's base color or the mare's).  If the stud is Heterozygous for the dun gene, you could get a dun, but you could also get a foal that is whatever the stud's base color is (so for example if the stud is a chestnut dun, you could get a chestnut), or you could get a bay, chestnut, or a black, since bay horses are black with a modifier, and the black color can be either homozygous for black or have one black and one chestnut gene.  

    So basically, possible colors:

    Chestnut Dun

    Bay Dun

    Whatever the stud's base color is Dun

    Whatever the stud's recessive base color is (if he has one)  Dun

    Whatever the stud's recessive base color is without the Dun modifier

    Bay

    Chestnut

    Black


  2. Offspring Color Probability

    21.97% -  Zebra Dun  

    21.97% -  Dunskin  

    21.97% -  Buckskin  

    21.97% -  Bay  

    1.56% -  Red Dun  

    1.56% -  Palomino  

    1.56% -  Dunalino  

    1.56% -  Chestnut  

    1.46% -  Smoky Grullo  

    1.46% -  Smoky Black  

    1.46% -  Grullo  

    1.46% -  Black

  3. this is a sight that calculates the possibilities of coat colors from the sire and mare. It doesn't really totally explain it but they are taking in consideration the dominant colors of the horse. Dun and Browns are dominant everything else would be not as likely.

    Since I knew no advanced info on your animals the calculator suggests at 21% each is

    Zebra Dun

    Dunskin (solid peach dun, or a dun with one cream gene that creates a lighter base coat)

    Buckskin

    Bay

    every other color being a possibility at 1% which is highly unlikely, because it does not factor grandsires and granddams

    AMANDA you just copied and pasted the exact thing I linked too. Thats perjury
