A hinny is a domestic equine hybrid, the offspring of a male horse (a stallion) and a female donkey (a jenny). It is the reciprocal cross to the more common mule, which is the product of a male donkey (a jack) and a female horse (a mare).
The mule is a domestic equine hybrid between a donkey and a horse.It is the offspring of a male donkey (a jack) and a female horse (a mare). [1] [2] The horse and the donkey are different species, with different numbers of chromosomes; of the two possible first-generation hybrids between them, the mule is easier to obtain and more common than the hinny, which is the offspring of a male horse ...
Donkeys have 62 chromosomes and horses have 64, so their hybrids (mules and hinnies) have 63. [2] Zebras have between 32 and 46 (depending on the species) and their hybrids are sterile and infertile. It is harder to cross species if the female has fewer chromosomes than the males, as in the crossing of a stallion and a jenny (female donkey ...
A mule (horse and donkey hybrid) Equine species can crossbreed with each other. The most common hybrid is the mule, a cross between a male donkey and a female horse. With rare exceptions, these hybrids are sterile and cannot reproduce. [28] A related hybrid, a hinny, is a cross between a male horse and a female donkey. [29]
The offspring of a zebra–donkey cross is called a zonkey, zebroid, zebrass, or zedonk; [87] zebra mule is an older term, but still used in some regions today. The foregoing terms generally refer to hybrids produced by breeding a male zebra to a female donkey. Zebra hinny, zebret and zebrinny all refer to the cross of a female zebra with a ...

Donkeys do not as readily conceive to horse stallion as to donkeys. The equine hybrid is easier to obtain when the lower chromosome count (the donkey) is in the male. Therefore breeding for hinnies is more hit-and-miss than breeding for mules. This verifies what the original Wiki-author put in the article about the chromosome / fertility issue.
