The "black" kits are getting some brown now as their fur is getting longer...So if they aren't black, what are they? Just really dark chestnut? :? Just curious, is all. lol
13 days old, I believe.

Papa rabbit is broken chestnut from a REW and a Red
Mama rabbit has chocolate points.

the first looks chestnut to me. The second a gold tipped steel. You need to examine the hairs carefully to tell the difference for sure.
 
The tips are black...then this "gold" color, then black again.
 
That is def. steel.. see how the inside of the ears on the first kit are black and not agouti-cream?
Peach you are getting silver tips in your shadeds because of the chin gene.. it cancels out all red/tan so the gold tips are now "silver"
 
I had the same thing happen awhile back, I crossed my Chin buck with my Californian does, expecting Chin babies, and voila! Silver-tipped steel babies!
