I have just got a litter of rabbits: Otter, Copper, Broken Copper, Broken, Broken Otter.... I am interested in the Broken Copper.... I have not heard of them, so are they rare or valuable to show at fair?
By broken copper, do you mean castor or chestnut? Also what breed of rabbit are they? Copper/castor/chestnut is pretty common really, when showing you look more for conformation and quality of color over just the color. For example, you could have some coppers... but are they good quality coppers? Blow into the fur and look the color up and you should be able to tell by the bands of color. Conformation is a whole different ball game and is different for all breeds. You can find oodles of show information on any breed or color if you Google it. Good luck! P.S. In most breeds, this color is referred to as chestnut. In rex, it is referred to as castor. And the only one I know of that refers to it as copper is Satin angoras and Satins. Opal is the dilute version of this color.
