    Doe bred ONCE, but kindles TWICE in 6 weeks (...then does it again!)

    Thanks to all for these comments...I hadn't checked in a while. In very short: definitely, no way the other doe is a 'buck'- for sure, it's obvious anatomically.

    Oh yeah - and obviously there's no nest box in with the delivered doe. I have a kind of lean to that's always in there and she created a hay nest (with fur too) to do the trick... Should I put a nest box in and move the kindle in there? or just leave it...?

    Doe bred ONCE, but kindles TWICE in 6 weeks (...then does it again!)

    {{PLEASE note: I have updated this thread title on 8 FEB, because the story is still unfolding. Starting with this post below, where my Doe kindled at 6 weeks overdue, to the latest post, where she has now had several miracle births. She has now, on two separate occasions, been bred, delivered...
