Hopefully anyways...

I have 9 breeding french lop does currently in my barn and have not gotten anything all spring so far... usually i have a litter from between 50 and 75% of my does by now but the wacky weather changes have really caused some issues over here. But after palpating they all seem to palpate positive. I have been breeding regularly and all does have been receptive so anyone is fair game on who could be first! Now it is just a waiting game...

I am also looking at a broken opal doe also born in december... Not sure why all of them were december babies but it just turned out that way I guess!

Good Luck :fl cool colors of the parents- it will be neat to see what color the kits look like!
Thanks! I am hoping a variety, I LOVE variety if you cannot tell LOL! I don't really have any colors in my does that double aside from blue now and maybe opal... and non in my bucks either. :) Exactly how I like it hehe! Chestnut is so darn dominant that EVERYONE has them and the colors, with show type and size, are impossible to find around me! I have michigan, wisconsi, north dakota and illinois rabbits mostly now. Hope to add one from ohio as well ;)

Yep, Chestnut is very dominant- we bred our FA Chestnut buck to our FA Fawn doe and now have to figure out the colors for 4 of them....the 1 black kit was easy!

I have 11 does now, adding in for sure the two maybe three. So 14 does and then adding one buck, so 7 bucks BUT I sold one buck and another potentially. So I will be down to 5 bucks and then as soon as I determine if Colby and Tally took or not, about April 27th as the last due date, they are going to a friends home to help her get some colors into her barn. So It will only be 12 does which is what I had until I lost my other broken opal doe.

Let me take a peek I may be able to help :) I know a lady who knows her angoras as well I can always ask her.

That's not too bad ;), we are currently at 23 between the Californian and FA's(10 of them are FA kits)- we are getting ready for fair here in July so the kids will have rabbits to show.

I have 1 picture of the group posted on my FA thread, it is hard to see the exact colors- I need to get individual pictures as to show the colors better.
