As you can tell from the picture, we have kits in the nest box! They were born on December 10, 2010. I have 1 black kit, 1 steel kit, 1 broken steel kit, 2 seemingly broken copper kits, and one full copper, so 6 kits in all. You can see the full copper on top to the right . So far I am planning on keeping a broken copper kit, the full copper, and the broken black. The 2 blacks will probably be sold. But that might change before it is all said and done. Once these kits are weaned I will probably breed Nibles to Zip and see what we get. I am happy with all the coppers but I hope to get a few more broken blacks next time. Nibles is a great mom, better than I could have hoped. She will put up with me digging around in her nest box without a single squeal or grunt. She has been devotedly nursing them, and they are growing fast. All in all, I couldn't hope for a better brood doe. I am very interested in seeing how they turn out. I'll update soon!
Here is the copper kit, who already opened his eyes. Love this color, never seen it before :)
Difference between copper and steel kit.
