AWWWWR! They are sooo cute! the "gray" one looks like it ended up being a gold-tipped steel! I have a 75% NZ, 25% SF doe that is a gold-tipped blue steel (so the same as yours but instead of black she is blue). It is an interesting color.
You can see an example of the color here (need to scroll all the way down to the Ticked Group and if you click the photo it will get bigger) http://www.ephiny.net/lopcolorguide.php

It's interesting how kits can reveal the color genetics of the parent. I bred a grey buck to a californian doe and got ONLY black and cali/albino kits. Meaning mister Grey has at least one gene for albinoism and Miss California is a black rabbit underneath her albino genes.

If I take a black doe from that pairing and mate it back to Mister Grey, I should get black, white, and grey kits. But I'm a ways from testing that. :D

Kits are 14 days old today, still can't sex them what so ever. They look like they are 3wks. =]
I really want the fancy brown one to be a girl!!

It most certainly could :D Different genetics will grow and mature at different rates. Could also be because it is a pig and eats more or just stronger & bigger than its sibs. Lots of reasons for various sizes in a litter when there is one sire, you just added another one having two possible sires.

Any updated photos???

I got rid of their nest because mom just keeps pissing in it and making me really angry, she is also very mean towards me now that she has kits.

Here is a Am Chin mix 2wk kit and a pure Cali 5wk kit.

Added new pics a few days ago.

Been loving on the gray and now it lets me pet it just dandy, though mom doesn't like that, lol.
