Thanks All!
Elevan: I was worried about knocking their tummies now, but later their heads! Although, the umbilical cords are all but gone already (dried). I have a nice stump in the outside pen, and can see that it will be the next thing to try to conquer.
The babies are more accurate now...
I relieved the pressure a bit for her today, and the kids are starting to eat a bit more now that they're a day old. It must be super duper strength jungle juice. I have a small breed plastic dog crate without the door in there for a "kid cave". Can they hurt themselves trying to jump on top of...
I wondered how you know if they're getting enough, or if she is a good producer. They're alternating nursing (which I assume they're getting something because they sometimes choke a bit), napping, and bouncing. They seem to prefer the other side, too. I will put her on the stand, but I think...
Thanks! Are the two light ones considered gold? The last doeling was just my favorite color, but I'm not sure if there is a name for it. She's chocolate brown with a black stripe down her back, black points on her legs and a bit of white here and there (like on the top of her head). Help me...
First photo of the trips. DH just weighed them (nearly 13 pounds of Nigi babies?, can that be right?), and Accuracy did so great. No screaming like the videos, just Momma talk and push one out, push another out, wait to clean those two, and push the 3rd one out.
The family!
Goat Sissies...
No, all the signs are there. She really wants to be quiet and wouldn't you know! Yesterday the tornado clean up crew came by to clear the powerlines. I live in the middle of Nowhere with only 4 other farms on a DIRT road. But, the contractions stopped about the time the 40 foot boom truck with...
:fl
I think we may have some progress on our 2nd Day 152. She has hollowed out hips today and a lower tummy! Although DH had the typical circling for grain, she ate very slowly and left half of it (a first)!
I may be able to see my first ever new kids today after 55 years of ...experience...
Wow, congrats! He looks half grown! Good job Penny, she deserves a treat or 6!
Kate: Is that one of Fire Flame's? I think my FF doe is finally going to do something today!
Tell her I said I know she's ALREADY special, so it's okay to have those babies! :thumbsup
Our "first" Day 150 was April 7th, so it sure feels like Day 180 to me!
In the Doe Code, does it count if you get your hair cut short, rather than pull it all out before they will kid? :barnie:he
Day 150 for the second time (2nd viewed mating)...hoping she doesn't go to the very last day of the pen breeding..that would be May 17th as Day 150!
