Indie had a doe and buck. Front leg of the first kid, the buck, was pulled back and she worked hard at getting him out, but we did push him back in a little when we realized the problem and pulled out the front leg. He is warn out and we are working on getting him going, not much of an interest to eat. Actually, no interest or suck reflex, barely can stand, but can hold him self up just fine. Looks like kind of a long night. Yawn.
Star's udder is bursting at the seams and I can't imagine she will make it past the morning. Okay, everyone thing does!!!!! Does for star.

If anyone is keeping count.
That is
Peaches doe and buck
Haley doe and buck
Pepper buck and buck
Macy doe and buck
Little B buck and buck

Indie doe and buck

7 does with 14 kids, 6 does and 8 bucks.

I agree with G6momma, this is so much fun! Can't wait for Ginger to kid. Hers can be anywhere from mid January to late January, no exact date! Her udder is growing by the day and she's bulging pretty good, but nothing like Tori! She was huge! Can't wait for the next round of deliveries!

She has so much milk the babies were chocking, a couple sucks and they wre full, then we milked 8 ounces of colostrum in a cup for a future emergency. I am going to get some more in the morning. It is like you look at the teat and milk just flows out. what an udder. Makes me want a couple dairy does. Then I go to get some milk for Indie for her buckling and it is like tiny llittle baby teats compared to tori's udder.. I was still able to get what I need for the buckling, but sure wouldn't want to sit there and milk 8 ounces out of her. It took lik 30 seconds to get that much out of Tori.

Congrats again! I cant believe that Tori only had 2 in there ! Cant wait to see what Indie's look like, & Im for her buckling. Thinking lots of Magenta for you! Sorry I cant stand lighter pink lol .

We gave Indie's buck 12 cc's of mother's milk very slowly since he wasn't sucking, and then stuck him in the warming barrel and went back out in an hour. We got him back up and he was wobbly but could stand and he had a suck reflex. He got on the teat in under 5 seconds and nursed away then went back in the warming barrel on his own to get some much needed rest. Being born is a lot of work.
Everyone is looking good this morning.
We slept from midnight until 6 am. It is only a low of 30 last night, so had it been colder I would have gone out at round 3am.

No one kidded while we were sleeping. Can't imagine what Star is waiting for. HOpe it is one of those stories of "good things are worth the wait."
