hello guys my name is stephen, i'm run a small rabbit farm, i know this is a chicken site but while surfing the internet trying to know my rabbits breed i came acrosss this site and i would be so grateful if i can get some clarity concerning the breeds i got
so the first picture is that of my buck[max] which i think he's either NZ white or florida white {not really sure}
the second picture is that of my doe[suzie] she has a grey and white mix {i think she's dutch} would need your help to confirm
so i crossed both of them and she gave me a pure white albino with pink eyes, a pure grey that looks a little bit like a chincilla, and a broken grey and white
i would really appreciate if i can get some answers because i'll start selling soon and i'll love to be able to tell my customers what breeds they are getting

Your rabbits are what some people call "meat mutts" - a mixture of several breeds. Since you got Ruby-Eyed White, Chestnut, and Harlequin colored babies when you crossed them, both parents must be mixed breeds. Your buck is definitely not either a New Zealand White nor a Florida White; those would be completely white with pink eyes (a color called Ruby-Eyed White), and your buck has dark eyes and a colored ear. He and the spotted baby are Magpie Harlequins (in this case, I mean color, not breed. While a purebred Harlequin could be as lightly marked as he is, it shouldn't have the genetics to throw REW). Your doe is not a Dutch; while she might be part Dutch, that white band across her shoulders could be the result of at least one other color/pattern gene. But in any case, neither of your spotted rabbits are Brokens; Broken is a a pattern caused by a particular gene, and it causes a distinctive pattern of white and color. Neither of your two spotted rabbits are expressing that particular pattern.

(Sorry if I sound grumpy. There are two cats in the room with me that are spoiling for a fight, and having to keep redirecting them when they start glaring and growling is getting old fast!)
