My goodness, was just marvelling over the four babies on another thread, and here you come with six. That doe could have her own reality tv show! How will she ever feed six, poor girl will be nursing non stop. Can't wait to see pics.

She is only feeding 3 of them, but she's producing enough milk for all 6 for now. :) 3 are bottle babies. Her udder puts our does udder to shame, lol.

I would say it was more than just a baby bump. It was like she swallowed a hot air balloon. My arms couldn't even wrap around her belly. Granted I have short arms, but still! She was HUGE! She still looks pregnant, lol, but now she looks like a normal pregnant goat. :) can't wait for you all to see her pre-kidding pics.

I was just as shocked! I forgot to mention, 5 does & 1 buckling. All are buckskin (except the buckling) with a little variation in shade, and all have crystal blue eyes. The buckling is a black brown and white spotted with the blue eyes. They are just adorable! :love :love :love
Oh my gosh. BLUE EYES? Little jackpot of kids there! And all does!! You lucky little duck!!!
