Well since she kidded today the ND is the one who bred her. It is going to be difficult to decide who we are keeping.
Doe 1 has frosted ears. Buck has white spot on side. Doe 2 is the darkest. Doe 2 is my favorite. Weights: Doe 1- 4.3, Buck 4.7, Doe 2 4.2. Lottes doe was 5.6 lbs.
We might keep her if Almond does not give us does. It is up in the air. DH loves her. We had agreed that we would only retain 1 doe from Almond. We shall see how that actually works out. lol.
I did not even notice the heart! All the babies have the same ND sire. She is the only one that has...
Yes I have all dates. 8/1, 8/5, 8/8 & 8/16. She's in a kidding stall next to Lotte. She's breathing fast.
Tiana and Lotte got bred earlier than I'd have liked. Even with graining she looks horrible. I sent a fecal off to check. Well see what that shows. Her buck is also messing her teat up...
If Lotte does what Tiana did, then she should kid tomorrow. Udder was double the size this am, not full. Tianas udder doubled over night, did not fill until the next day. Lottes ligaments are soft.
Lotte is walking around hollering. She never makes a sound unless she is separated from her sister...
They are so freaking adorable. Yes, the buck with elf ears has wattles. He is the only one with them. I love wattles.
Almond has 2 weeks 1 day. I am excited to see what she has.
The little guy nursing was on it! He was not out even 3 minutes. Started crawling before the first buck! I love the look of the little buck with the elf ears, and DH loves the buck with the erect ears. I keep reminding him we're not keeping them. lol.
More pics from this morning. No names for...
The weights are Buck 1 5.2, Buck 2 4.2, Doe 3.9
Both bucks came out head first legs backwards. The first buck I had to help pull. Second buck came out with no problems. Doe came out breech! DH is smitten with Buck 1.
Marshmallow is in labor! She was baby talking earlier.
She put herself away in her kidding stall at 3 pm. Went to check on the buckling, seen her asleep in her kidding stall. Usually have to shake the grain bucket to get her in.
I have deep blue & udder cream. Feed store here is closed today. I can go first thing in the am to see what they have. Would the deep blue work?
Here is the ingredients in deep blue: Aqua, Gaultheria procumbens (Wintergreen) Leaf Oil, Cinnamomum camphora (Camphor) Bark Oil, Menthol, Cetearyl...
Tiana has A LOT of edema in 1/2 of her udder. Her teat was so tight the little guy couldn't nurse. I milked her out some to relieve pressure. Her edema is on her stomach and in her leg. Only on the one side. The side that was leaking is not swollen at all. I milked her out, but not completely...
