They really changed color! *NEW PICS ADDED 8/14*

[fuzzy9]

2 1/2 weeks old out of my sable broken doe, and my NZW buck.

The solid kit at just a couple days old.

Solid kit at 2 1/2 weeks old.

What color is this one?

Grey on the sides mixed with the brown.

Nothing cuter than baby feets!

And just for fun, my newly weaned 2nd generation project spotted meat kits at 5 weeks old.

LOL sorry to be off topic... but what kind of camera do you use?

 

[Nyctra]

Chinchilla buns can have a rusty look when they're babies.

edit; You can see some on this site: http://www.rabbitcolors.info/int/en/ent ... _Du/1.html
#1 reason I want chinchilla babies! lol

 

[skysthelimit]

You've got a chin, and more than likely the other's a chestnut.

 

[Bad Habit]

A solid chin, a broken chin, and I'm assuming the one not pictured older is just a broken black.

It's just the cell cam on my HTC droid phone.

Wow, a chin, huh! Now there's a color I've never had in my rabbitry! It's the cutest thing too. :lol:

Yes, the other is just a broken black. I'll probably be raising up all the brokens, and keeping the best from the two litters for breeding my generation 3 spotted kits. The bun with the cross on the forehead will be a keeper irregardless. Love it's markings, even though it's not a spotted.

Ummm...chinchilla is not possible if your doe is a sable.

REW buck = A_ __ cc __ __

Sable doe = aa B_ cchl (cchl OR ch OR c) D_ E_
(she cannot have cchd or she would look chinchilla) OR be a self (black looking) chin

Chinchilla = A_ B_ cchd (cchd OR cchl OR ch OR c) D_ E_

Can you post a picture of the mom?

 

[siddsaysgimmie]

Sable... so, what would that be? Sable point? Siamese sable?

The broken looks to be sable chinchilla, which would explain the brown and the slightly "shaded" look. The solid may be too, but the broken has more brown... sure they vary in appearance though.

This is the doe when she was younger, but her blanket color is actually darker now than it shows here. When she was young, I asked here what color she was, and broken sable seemed to be the general consensus. She has the grey on the sides too.

 

[Dood]

Sweet !

I was correct in my guess of her being a Sallander = aa B_ cchd _ D_ ee

 

[fuzzy9]

The doe? Sallander is a color?

 

[Dood]

Yes, the doe is not a broken sable point but a broken sallander

 

[fuzzy9]

So then, what does that make the color of the two kits I posted? :lol: Genetics is so confusing!

 

[skysthelimit]

Now that would explain a lot.

 

[Dood]

The kits are chinchilla since they got an agouti and full extension from their father.

If you breed a boy back to the mom you will get more like her.

Interesting! Here is a link with some great info on the sallander coloring, it was helpful in explaining the color! http://natalieshobe.tripod.com/id21.html It's down at the bottom.

I thought I'd take some updated pics of the doe since I just keep using pics of her when she was younger. Her blanket has really changed as she's matured. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.

Grey on sides......so this would make her a black based sallander, correct?
