We just had 6 Dutch/Argent born last night!!! I am interested in how these crosses do further on for meat breeding as well!!!

I don't know anything about dutch. But I do know that Chestnut and steel are too different things. That wouldn't be called chestnut in any breed I know of. It would be steel. Looks gold tipped, the ones with the white/silver are silver tipped. So they are Gold tipped black steels and Silver tipped black steels. These colors could have a totally different name in the Dutch breed, but in Mini lops that would be what they would be called.

It looks steel to me, but it's still quite young. Some of my kits look like that, then more bands appear later.
