Sometimes they can pass a fetus that "stopped developing" and the other kids can be born normal. Sometimes the undeveloped fetus can create a cocoon and be born "with" the kids, but it all depends on the situation and the doe. Can you give more info? When was she bred? Does she look like she...

10 more days :love and still no nipples!!! LOL.

This is just how I did it last year: First three days every 6 hours as much as they will eat. After three days old they all eat twice a day as much as they will eat. All my babies did fine and thrived and had great growth rates. Some of the bigger ones (when everyone was a little older) were...

We started keeping them outside of the goat yards about 3 months ago after the second "attack play" which they hadn't done since up until about 2 weeks ago. I can't see anything that has changed, no new animals, no pens or animals moved, nothing new that I can think of. Maybe a puppy stage? I...

I have just one right now. He is super cute and friendly and doing fine on his own, he likes to be around us and be petted and also likes to have toys around to play with. :D And yes we check him often, they ARE escape artists! Though when ours gets out he goes and hangs out with the dogs, lol...

I like this feed: http://www.acana.com/ And this feed: http://www.wellnesspetfood.com/index.aspx And both have a "large breed puppy" formula. I also feed canned food, and raw after the pups are about 6 months old. Very good advise on this thread. :D

My two LGD's chased away cranes that landed in our yard, but they ignore the crows. Go figure. :hu
