Yes you got them all right :mrgreen:
The first one i can't see if he's black or blue.. the orange might be a little off which is common with harlequins, i just had a kit like that.
He also seems to have the non-extension shading on his side so i think he carries non-extension (eje)
Lovely little babies

Definitely growing up into such lovely bunnies.
Seriously like the Chestnut and the Opal.
Sorry he/she didn't turn out to be a Magpie, but definitely handsome

Chestnut's double maned, but I don't care for the colouring one bit. I'm really not all that fussed about any of these guys, so I'll probably sell them all. They're doing very well though, healthy and stuff... I just want a dm doe, preferably dilute with VM.
So is the first a japanese harlequin as well? it's much lighter in colour than the other two. I checked mum this morning, and she seems to have the same white as the baby when you part her fur, so that baby will probably tan out all over, and just keep the white eye rings and white belly. Tan on the outside, white at the skin. Would that make sense, if she gave me one white sided baby and two smutty babies when bred to a non-harlequin? I thought the opal of this litter looked different than the opal of last litter, though.

Knowing how rabbit's coats change when maturing, it's really tough for me to say. I now understand why Breeders (show) say you really won't know "true" coloring until 4 months old.
They will all make excellent pets. If it was me, I'd start searching for the dm doe you really want, to continue your breeding program. Might take you awhile, but I think it will be worth it.

That's kinda my plan. I do intend to breed a litter for Easter bunnies, as I've promised the photographer I worked with this year to have a litter of kits for her for Easter next year. But beyond that, I think my poor poochie will have to be sad without his babies to take care of, LOL.

Just updated photos of the kits.
At a loss as to how to explain the difference between the last Harlequin, and the other 2. I imagine he'll turn out to look exactly like my doe, as she has those same white markings, but less noticeable.

They are so sweet! And love the coloring of all of them.
They are in the "fuzzy wuzzy" stage. They all look very alert.
