The white one is about 2 pounds, dark one 3 or 4 pounds.

Most likely mutts

The Black and Tan one could be a Netherland dwarf or cross

The white one looks like a poor quality Jersey Woolie or more likely a cross with a lionhead. If it is under 6 months it could be a double mane lionhead that hasn't shed out its baby coat.

The black one could be a Nethetland crossed with a Californian since it has a tight fly back coat instead of rollback.

How do I tell fly back coat and rollback? Are the other two rollbacks? Thanks in advance.

When you stroke the fur "against the grain" (making the fur stand up), does the fur go straight back to laying flat or does it take a while to flatten out? Rollback would be the one that takes a while to flatten, flyback would be the opposite. Rollback rabbits tend to have thicker coats as well, which is an indicator. :)

The white one looks like a lionhead, the otter looks like a BUD netherland, and the black looks like a mutt.
 
The white one looks more like a Jersey Wooly to me than a Lionhead, but without the correct coat length or mane, they are hard to tell apart.

The head made me think lionhead, but of course I'm probably wrong. :lol:

The first one looks like a silver marten to me

That is an otter Netherland Dwarf if I've ever seen one. ;) See the patch at the nape of the neck? It's bright orange. Plus, the head and body reminds me of a BUD (big ugly doe).
 
You're right, I didn't realize the first pics and last pic was the same animal. Definitely a nethie

Ears didn't seem large enough, and face was squared off from the side. Not all JW look that way, and not all LH look that way, so it's kind of hard to say definitively.
