Holland lop thread

[home-sweet-home]

We are new to breeding and We have our first litter. I am not 100% sure these are all black, Two are a little lighter with some brownish highlights in the light. The doe is black and the buck is a black tort. (their pedigrees are here www.lopsbyleah.com it is Ebony and Lopsy)

Here they are all together (they are three weeks old)

One of the browner looking ones

On her back

A blacker one

Here was one at 6 days

Ok, cool, I know what to put on the pedigree.

But they have never been outside, so I do not know how they would get sun bleached. They just really started leaving the nest box that is in a 4ft x 4ft fully inclosed remade coop. They have not left the coop to go outside yet (I think it has been too cold) We have a colony.

So the lighter ones can still be sold as show quality (if they are) even with the lighter color?

Congratulations on your First Kits. They are absolutely beautiful.

I think they could be considered show quality. I think what 2seth2 is stating is it's a solid color, whether it's lighter. Solids are judged. Just like Brokens (patterns) are judged.

Today I purchased a very nice chinchilla holland lop doe and her 2 mo. old litter of three. I also, purchased a nice buck who of course has been named Buck.
He is kind of a cutie pie.

Is he not a good lookin boy?

The last two pics are the 2 mo. old broken chinchilla. she is just too sweat.

Ms. Reasearch even if a animal is soild it has to be recognised variety to be show. If she had a rabbit that was not a recognised color she could not sell it as show quality.

Your correct.......I did not label them correctly. the chestnut is the Jr. buck I got and the broken chinchilla is the daughter of the chinchilla I spoke about. She also has a chin doe and buck of the same age of 2 months. That little buck I am keeping my eye on as he may be show quality. He is a nice little boy.
Sorry about the confusion.
