If most were REW or black, he's probably not Flemish, especially if the parents didn't look like them. If this guy was just raising them for meat, they are most likely just mixed breed rabbits. Not mixed between any particular breeds but just the product of generations of breeding for meat.
The thing about mixes is that they all do look very similar, which is why it's difficult to pinpoint what breeds the rabbit may be mixed with. A Holland Lop x Dutch mix may look exactly like a Dwarf x Dutch mix. So unlike dogs, where you can usually point out characteristics that will give you a clue, rabbits are very difficult if not impossible to breed identify.If they were mixes wouldn't some of them look a little different?
I looked at about 50 or so rabbits.
