Your goal in breeding rabbits shouldn't be to make a profit. Look at other rabbits near you that are similar quality to get a baseline on price. Imo 100-150 is too much for a first litter, especially with parents who had never been shown.

Satin gene is simple recessive. If you breed a non-satin to a satin, it will just have normal fur. It won't be any more shiny that first generation and you'd have to breed back into satins to get that sheen back. You can breed a giant chin and satin together imo. Satins are not medium rabbits...

Didn't see this thread until now You can show VC however you shouldn't breed them into a non-bew show line. If you sell somebody a VC or potential VC without disclosing it is from VC lines, you'd be hurting their lines. It's impossible to breed vienna out of a line and show breeders don't like...

It's just a runt. Best way to tell a peanut is by looking at the ears, not size. Peanut have tiny, triangular ears. This kit has normal ears. In the US, mini lops don't have the dwarf gene. They do in the UK and australia however

Black otter, black otter butterfly, black and black butterfly are the most likely outcomes. Beyond that we'd just be guessing at what they carry. If the doe carries chinchilla you might get some black fox as well . If the doe carries non extension you might get sooty or sooty on tan. If the buck...

4H/FFA is really just about the best way to get into showing rabbits. They should have clubs near you that hold meetings to practice rabbit handling and rabbit knowledge, and the 4H competitions are a good gateway into open rabbit shows in the future. If you look up your local cooperative...

Looks like marbled eyes to me. Just a different eye color. You see it if the rabbit has the chinchilla gene.

harlequinized tort isn't a thing torted harlequin, however, is very much a thing. Harlequins don't need an agouti modifier to show itself. A_ ejej, at_ ejej and aa ejej usually all show up as valid harlequins. Problems come in when you get eje, in aa eje the tort can start to show through on the...

Looks black based to me If it has a dark undercolor, or it was born dark, it's just a light chinchilla. might have a wideband gene. if it was born pink, it could be a ghost chinchilla. it's a recessive gene (non-extension) that runs in some american chinchilla lines.

Satins are also a 6 class breed; and angoras are 4 class but they are still large commercial breeds. If you are looking for a 4 class rabbit that travels well and is harder to stress I would suggest a Himalayan. They're known for their laid back temperament

I've been breeding for shows for a while, if you have any questions feel free to PM me. Are you young enough to do 4H/FFA? If so that's a good way to learn about showing rabbits.

1 & 4 are blacks. Likely to be hidden steels, or get some steel ticking later on (likely to be Ese, could be A_ as well instead of aa, as Ese can make even agoutis look self). 3, 6 and 7 are chestnuts, 6 definitely has some dutch or vienna markings, maybe 7 and 3 as well. The doe I would call...

Tortoise (aka Tortoiseshell)

I don't know what the sire of these is but the first black silver marten one looks to have harlequin markings so if you are breeding to a magpie and want a variety of color that might be a good one to keep. otherwise, what you'll get out of them is probably going to be about the same so you...

Which one to keep back depends on what colors you want to get out of it. What do you want?

The worst breeds for meat would be britannia petites and himalayans ;). But if you wanted one specifically for thick bone, flemish giant, french lop and holland lops tend to have thick bone.

It's genetic balding. You see it a lot in rex furred rabbits, especially velveteen lops. It will usually grow back within a couple weeks. Look up "astrex" if you are curious about it, this balding pattern you see a lot in astrex carrier lines (but it does not necessarily mean they will grow up...

A lot of cages are 24" deep. It's hard to reach any further back than that
