yes there are rabbits like this but this is not mine i got it off of google

the assortment included every possible color and egg offered. The only possible ones that I don’t think you received were the celadon. I haven’t noticed a grau fee but they are more difficult for me to spot as chicks. the light and grayish ones you posted pics of are variations of SSC (silver schofield collection) with at least 1 that will be a snowy.

Here I go again.


This one is going to be a brown Pansy.

This dark one.


I'm done with trying to figure out colors for today.

the dark ones will most likely be rosetta or maybe sparkly?? it has taken me a while to figure those out....my first rosetta i called my “laced betties” as that color is similar to a tibetan color with lacing. sparkly is typically larger and darker with more wild type pattern because it is pansy crossed with jumbo (again could be difficult to fully differentiate from a variation of pansy unless in an isolated hatch)

so Pansy is kind of like barring?

i explain pansy as a “calico” quail.....they typically are multi-colored but vary with what I call pearl as more white base, golden with more gold or italian base, chocolate base is traditional color, and I have one outside that’s more red base. I’m not sure how “professional or scientific” my terminology is in differentiating the different variation would be considered but it seems to make sense to me and @Texas Kiki at least!!

I think this is a brilliant way to describe it

It's crazy how many different ones there are.

Dont worry i went thru all this-- the real fun part is yet to come, choosing which males dont go to the freezer

 

[Matieus27]

at least that is what i am seeing here

Do you feed a game bird feed?
Mine is 28% protein.

Also do you still have heat on yours?
I think the added heat makes them feather in slower.

my protein is only 22% i believe...i’ve had trouble getting even the 24% lately (i know i should really order some but i haven’t crossed that bridge yet ) and yes i do believe that having them in the house with heat lamp does result in slower feathering as the ones in the shed are feathering much faster even though they have brooder plate just in case overnight temps fall.

@Nabiki was it mirin I needed? Or something else? Can’t remember if that was the one I needed or the one I could substitute with haha turns out our grocery store has that and just about every other sauce you could imagine and quite a big Asian section haha

i do believe that mirin was on the list!

Then it has to be the feed and heat diffi because they are the same stock but one day difference in age right?
Mine hatched one day before yours?


But they do change A LOT in one day.
