I bred a NZ doe yesterday for the first time. Session #1 was at 8 am with a NZ buck. He bred her 3 times. Session 2 (with same buck) was a bust at 12 noon. Buck seemed more interested in nipping and scratching than breeding - 0 breeding. At 6 pm I put her in with my Cali buck, and it was a very successful session - 4 times bred. Doe was very cooperative; I was really pleased to see how easily she bred as a first-timer.
Anyway, my question is how likely is it that she conceives a mixed litter - some kits fathered by the NZ buck, some by the Cali buck? Or is it more likely that the first breeding session simply stimulated egg release and the later session results in conception?
Does anyone have (or had) litters that they know had mixed fathers? I'm just curious. My NZ doe is black with cinnamon tipped fur, so won't likely be able to tell visually who is the father of which kits.
