Congratulations, beautiful babies!

I'm with Mamaboid . . . that Felicity is one beautiful doe. :pop

Because Butternut works full time on getting into the pellets and is occasionally successful at 9 days old :P. She is talented and gifted in the jump-spin-leap-sneak department and I am sending in her application to "Goats on Ice" but in the meantime I don't want her to die of Early Alfalfa-Itis...

Wait . . . wait . . . do you ordinarily do something more fun for your birthday than having your hand up a doe's rear end? I've got to rethink my birthdays ;). I'll bet she'll go earlier :fl. Sarabi didn't have any discharge at all until the day of kidding - it's not set in stone that there's a...

So cute! Love that first pic where you caught her "smiling" :)

Awww, I love that white cap with the white ears! Sorry it wasn't pink, though.

Congratulations, they're adorable!

Aww, so cute. I agree that little guy is very handsome. Great color!

I've still got her in the birthing area, gated in, but if the other little one comes near to see the new baby, she head-butts the fence. Both of my goats have displayed real personality problems now that they're mamas. Selkie might chill out, we'll see, but Sarabi, who was never quiet, seems to...

OK, so that was weird. Selkie needed a tiny bit of help - nose first and hung up on something, so I just had to go in a wee and find the hooves which were a little tangled, but mostly it was a really tight membrane. I'm having trouble describing it. There seemed to be a double bag -...

I don't have electricity to the barn, but even if I did, I'll bet I'd appreciate having these: camping handwarmer pouches. Sarabi delivered at night, and I was SO glad to have them. Even after the kid was dried off, her little hooves were cold for some reason, and I just held the warmers against...

I don't know what I'm doing wrong that these girls are going so late! Sure there's not some nutrient I'm missing or something?!?! Anyway, Selkie has had an udder boom today, small amounts of discharge all day, and ligs are gone, so finally the time is near. Good thing, too, she is MEAN to...

Wow, enjoy a good night sleep tonight hopefully! Adorable kids :love

Adorable!

She's still nursing pretty well this morning when I hold Sarabi's head, but Sarabi is still licking her almost full time!!! This is counter-productive - it's cold out there and Sarabi keeps wetting down her dry baby! Gahhh. Sorry for the phone pics - that corner is pretty dark. We'll have to get...

One big cream & butterscotch blue eyed doe! I'll have to post pics in the morning, as I'm still out here in the barn, three hours later, trying to convince Sarabi that her only function as a mother is not licking. The little doe did suck awhile and got some colostrum, but that didn't last for...

Strings of goo, lie down get up paw, yell yell yell. Poor sweetie.

Missed it too, what adorable twins though!

Well, FINALLY!!!! Sarabi's ligs are gone this morning and I might be imagining things, but I think we might have an udder boom-let. Selkie's ligaments are soft and she's on day 3 or 4 of minor amounts of discharge. I just cancelled my medical procedure that was scheduled this morning, because...

You know, I am here to tell you that this trick does NOT work. Sarabi was already overdue when I hit post 100 a couple of days ago. She is now DAY 154. Of course, I have a non-reschedule-able medical procedure tomorrow, lasting from 9 am to 1pm, leaving here at home dh and 14 year old son...
