I'll get pics later. I turned off the heat yesterday so I could open the window because the house was getting too warm and my husband forgot to turn it back on so it's like 60F in here. I'm not getting out of my blankets until it warms up. :lol:
So I was breeding sable netherlands. I had 2 sable does, 1 seal doe, 1 blue carrying rew, and 1 sable marten in the same pen with a sable buck carrying himi and nonextension. I don't know which litter came from which doe except when there was only 1 litter in there and they had an obvious kit like a marten which meant the litter had to be out of the sable marten or a black or blue which meant the litter had to be from the blue. Most of the time there were 2 or 3 litters at once that all got mixed. I kept what looks to be a sable point buck when I gave away most of my netherlands.
Then my broken castor mini rex doe carrying self and dilute got bred by a seal american sable carrying nonextension and I kept a broken black doe.
I put these 2 in a hutch in the house months ago. I was beginning to wonder if the broken black was actually a buck when last night my husband found kits in the house area.
The kits are all weird colored though. There's 1 plain black that makes sense, 1 broken black with a pink belly, and 2 silver top, pink bellied kits. The last 2 are the most confusing. Could my sable point be from the marten doe and not show it? Then the kits would be expressing the at gene. The silver could be a recessive C locus gene since it's very unlikely either rabbit carries chocolate to make lilac. It's even unlikely they carry dilute.
Would that explain the colors?
