What is the most colors you have had in one litter?

[ckcs]

I recently had a litter with 5 different colors in it. Sadly a chocolate died and only 4 colors survived.

Hmm. I think it was one of my more recent litters. I got tanish/red, black, gold tipped steel, black and white, and a black with silver (like a young champagne but no champ genes and never fully silvered).

Wow, that's awesome! what breed? or was it a litter of mutts?

Most of my litters are pretty varied for color. I like them that way!

One pairing threw 9 kits: 5 REW, a self black chin, a chin, a sallander, and an ermine.

Another pair threw 8: 1 fawn, 2 cream, 2 broken fawn, two solid ? Odd colored kits?. Still trying to figure out what they are, and one broken kit the same odd color. Lost one odd colored kit and the fawn.

All kits were weaned. We kept the brown based kits and the lilac, and lilac agouti [I no longer use the work "lynx" in my barn. Too many different genotypes are being called "Lynx" in the Rex world. I want to know the genotype so ...]does all have their own litters now. Lots of brown genes in the barn these day :lol:

Wow. Now that's variety. Doe had a black, black otter, blue otter, chocolate otter and REW

I have had 5 colors in one litter before (9 rabbits): self black, self blue, chestnut, opal, and REW. (Sorry about the shameless self promotion, but it's the only pic of all 5 colors I had on my blog to use.)

This thread really has me wondering what to expect in the Easter basket as I have two litters of Rex on the way.

They are a Generation II Holland Lionhead cross. I'm trying to make my own lionlop.<br /><br />__________ Fri Oct 11, 2013 12:34 am __________<br /><br />

7 was the most I had and considering I breed AmChins (only come in 2 colours-chin &blue chin) I was not impressed


Chinchilla
Silver tipped steel
Chestnut
Gold tipped steel

I was expecting these from my Gold tipped steel buck crossed to an AmChin doe

BUT THEN....

Black
REW :shock:
Magpie :groooan:

We're in the same litter.

(I figured my sisters magpie Mini Lop fathered the last one)

 

[Truckinguy]

My last litter had four colours in it: black, blue, steel and a nice brown, like a white tailed deer brown. The brown has a reddish colouring to it which may come from it's grandmother, Scarlett. Their father Fred is a pure NZ, steel in colour and their mother is a 3/4 NZ, black in colour so I don't know what genes may be in her background. It's sure nice to get some variety instead of the same colour all the time! Haven't got any whites for a long time.

 

[TheLittleBunny10]

lets see....
my first litter was 7, and they where
2 Blues (1 VM)
1 Broken Blue (vm)
1 Tort (vm)
1 Orange & Blue Harlie (vm)
1 Black (vm)
1 Black & Orange Tri

hoping for some BEW in the next breeding...
