Agouti? Some kind of steel?

[therabbitlady]

I have a pretty blue buck with brown eyes (dad was chinchilla with blue eyes mom was rew). He was bred to this orangey brown doe. They have popped out interesting kits. There are two gold tipped steel looking kits, one that looks kinda tort-y, and then this gray brown agouti looking girl. Help?



Mom and this gray brown agouti type girl, what is she? The orange spotted is an adopted half nz, half palomino, her mom only had one kit so she went with this mom.


Dad, he's very blue in the light.
Gray brown agouti girl again, she looks orangier here but really isn't.


Gts?


Tort-y gray girl

Any help is appreciated. We are enjoying the colors and this doe is a fantastic mother.

The agouti kit pictured with the mother looks like a chestnut agouti. Some chestnuts are very low-rufous and used to be called gray-brown. The kit is actually a more typical-looking chestnut than the dam, who has some suspicious markings...see below for more on that.

You buck could be either a blue or a self squirrel aka self blue chin. I agree with your call of GTS on the steel kit.

But the "torty" one also has suspicious color variations, like the doe. It's hard to be sure from this one photo, but I'm wondering if I see harlequin effects both the dam and this lighter-colored kit. There are multiple places on the doe, but mostly it's that distinct cheek spot that I can see on the kit. Here are mark-ups showing what I'm looking at:


Hope that helps. I'd love to see more photos of both of them. If you do have harlequin in the mix, you'll most likely get all kinds of fun colors!
