So cute

Thanks is she considered a Charlie or not I think she's 15.5% colored. But she could be less.

A Charlie is under 10% Colored. Anything over is broken, so she would be a broken if she's over 15% colored

I know the 10% limit but it's hard to say on her because her face. So would you say she's a Charlie? I don't think she is

Quote: With that much color around her eyes, and especially that full butterfly on her nose, I don't think she's a Charlie, I think she's just a lightly-marked broken.

That's what I was thinking. But she's Beautyful. My first Brocken black otter I get to keep. I just don't like her back bone strip. I'm used to heavily marked rabbits

That's the buck I traded for her. I wish I would have kept that buck, but it was a fair trade. I got the better deal though. That buck won't do to good on the show table. Chickens eat his toes off.(4 of them) but he'll though good show quality baby's.
I'm thinking about keeping this kit( hoping its a doe)

So far I think "she's" a buck, but looks promising with coloring. Nice rich coloring, I'll keep him/her until 4-6months and watch out for color, head, ears and romp. Also weight( that's our herds buck problem, he's 5.7lbs our smallest doe is 4.2)can't find good quality small mini Rex does around here. There's only 3-6 breeders around her and no ones got what I'm looking for. I my self is trying to work with black( broken, otters, solids) but I only have( personly) 2 black( solid and broken otter) does, which is why I'm wanting the black kit. In away I'm wanting him to be a buck.
Any tips on what I should look for in a great quality black(otter, Brocken otter, solid, Brocken) mini Rex.

We just peaked. There is so much fur I'm surprised she isn't bald. 6 kits. The doe is a otter the buck is black. Is it odd that two of the kits are a beige/brown. The others are dark.

@SternRose That buck wouldn't do anything on a show table-he'd be instantly DQ'd. You can't show a rabbit that has parts missing. Rabbits are often DQ'd for claws that have broken off too short for the judge to determine their color.

As far as tips on what to look for, as long as there aren't too many stray white hairs, black and otter are fairly easy colors to get right. Type is by far the tougher consideration; here's a link on how to judge that: http://cottonwoodfarms.tripod.com/pencil.html

@K Epp Congrats on your new litter!

There are a whole bunch of recessives that could be lurking behind otter and black, so no, there's nothing odd about a couple of lighter colored babies. Now you have the fun of trying to figure out what they are!
