AlleysChicks 2020 Kidding thread

[AlleysChicks]

I brought them in last night because it was so cold. Glad I did. The buckling felt solid but the doe was thin and weak acting. So I went to tsc and got some stuff and bottle fed them after they warmed up. With full tummies this morning the buck weighed 3lbs and the doeling weighed 2lbs 11oz. She looks much better this morning but not as strong as her brother. They are back out with their mom while I go to work.

Babies are doing good! I'm still bringing them in at night but during the day they are out with mom.

Granger was due yesterday but she's keeping those babies hostage awhile longer. She goes from both ligs to 1 lig to none the switches sides. Will update again when she kids.

So adorable!! Yeah why not have a few more does! Lol Know how that feels. Was his sire moonspotted? Or any of the grandparents on either side? Theory is its genetic. We had a doe that wasn't moonspotted have a moonspotted kid, but the doe's mom was moonspotted and the sire carries moonspots. They are cute though!! And fun!

Neither parent are and I know the dams parents weren't. I seen both the bucks parents but if there was spots they were hidden.

Yeah that could be. We have a buck that has moonspots, but you can't really see them until we shave him in the summer.
