Wow. So either the buck or the doe is A...Ese?

I can’t believe this buck/doe color pairings had so many babies and only a couple that look Agouti. Of course, it doesn’t help that both carry white and I always seem to get a disproportionate number of white kits.

Will the A_B_C_D_Ese kits always look black? I’ve probably had a dozen or more black kits from this pairing and didn’t notice ticking on any of them. Is there some way to tell if my broken black does are actually black?

If I bred this red buck back to his mom, I should get some more red ones right?

Sorry for all the questions, rabbit color genetics are really interesting.

I'd assume it's your buck since you say he's had red kits with two separate does.
