Vay
Chillin' with the herd
I was TOLD the 2 small bucks were mini rex.
I didn't know enough about mini-rex, and they looked enough like them from the pics... but I've since realized they are definitely not mini-rex, the fur isn't right.
I THINK they're polish. They're not very big - about the size of a guinea pig...
One is black
And one is white with black markings.
I read somewhere the white one with black marks could be a broken... or a charlie... or a broken charlie... can't remember now... but also polish.
Maybe not, I don't know.
My other 2 bucks are (I think):
a silver NZ/flemish cross
could be gray..light gray... agouti... I don't really know what all of those mean, other than it's the pigments on the individual hairs, where those pigments are on the hair, and the percentage of the hair those pigments take... whatever.
And also a white NZ/flemish cross with grey spots.
My does are sandy flemish... not sure if crossed with anything... the person I got them from said they're mostly flemish.
If anyone can give me more insight as to what they are, and the colors, as well as the genetic likelyhoods from each breed.... currently, the does have all been (attempted) bred with the small white and black one - October 18th - no fall offs, so we got the bigger bucks that weekend and re-bred with the silver/gray one October 24th.
2 of the does are pulling fluff. One of those 2 is getting bigger, the other one isn't, so we think one is a phantom pregnancy... and the 3rd one is eating a lot more, no fur pulling, is more aggressive....
Not completely sure. Checking several times a day.
