Last saturday my NZX doe had her 2nd litter this year and 3 out of 9 are really smaller than the rest and really wrinkly and golden in places where their fur is just coming, is the wrinkling common? and the last kits were not golden looking either perhaps its too early to make any judgement but the last litter did not appear like this and she culled one yesterday which looked bigger than the rest which was the same that happened with the kits she culled from her last litter...seems strange that she didnt cull one of the smaller ones?
question on 5 day old kits

In my opinion the wrinkles mean they are not getting fed and are being starved. Did they send up making it?

The yellow looking stuff could be dried placenta (sp?). If its really hot in the box, they can have a wrinkled look. Pictures would help 
Culling just because of just that...seems a little strange to me unless there's some thing visibly different to make them sickly or some thing like that, but that's just me.
