Hello, my doe had two kits 4 days ago and I’m not sure if the little pink and grey one is a runt or a peanut. I’ll post photos from day one to day four. Any advice much appreciated xx

Just to rule one thing out: You did breed two true dwarfs, right?
 
What makes you think it's either? It looks normal and the same size as the other one.
 
In the last photo the head does look smaller, but the body doesn't. But in the other photos it looks more normal to me.

With a runt or peanut, the whole body will look smaller, usually significantly smaller. And with a peanut there will be other deformities like small pointy ears, dome shaped head, bulging eyes, and deformed hind limbs. If it's head really is much smaller, then it's probably some other genetic issue going on there.
