Looks like blue, black, chinchilla, and chestnut agouti. Hard to tell from the pictures though.

In the first picture, I see a black, a chestnut, and what looks like a chinchilla. The rabbit in the second picture looks like a siamese sable. If you have agouti genes (chestnut) and shaded genes (siamese sable) in the same litter, you have trouble! The "chinchilla" may actually be a siamese sable agouti, which is an undesirable color. In the third and fifth pictures, there is a rabbit with very light grey fur. It could be a "squirrel," which is the dilute version of chinchilla. BUT, if it's the shaded gene rather than the chinchilla gene that you're dealing with, then the color you are looking at would be "smoke pearl agouti," which is another "whoops!"

Baby colors can be tough, they are often a little paler than the final color of the adult. There is a brownish tint to several of them that may just be the effect of the various genes already remarked on, or they may be the chocolate variations of the colors I have already mentioned. The eye color would be the clincher. Chocolate rabbits' eyes are just a little lighter than their black-based counterparts, dilute chocolates (lilacs) have a slightly pinkish dove grey eye, rather than blue grey.

Quite a mix! How old are they? Can you tell whether they are boys or girls yet?
