anyone with litters due in march? :) i do!

[ohiogoatgirl]

i bred my dutch doe on feb 15 so her due date is about st patricks day (march 17).
and unless my lionhead does kindle before the 21st of this month i will be breeding them then. heard a bit about breeding on a new moon for doe kits and breeding on a full moon for buck kits. so see how it works out for me if i try it. and if i do that will give me due date of about march 23.

so anyone else got march litters coming?

If all goes well ( never count your chickens before they hatch ) I should have some litters from some netherland dwarfs on March 1st. and a flemish giant do probably on March 3rd. or 4th.

Well the flemish giant mother is about 18 or 19 lbs., if thats big enough for her ,and the netherland dwarfs are.... somewhere around mabey 2 lbs. (haven't weighed them)
Happy sweet 16 for you sister, and hope your st patrick bunnies do well

Well, I guess I won't be having too many kits for March . 1 flemish giant and 2 netherland dwarf does all had their kits today. However the flemish giant must have sat on her litter because, even though they were warm, they were all dead. One of the netherland dwarf does had her kits and didn't build a nest for them. And the other ND had her kits but for some reason they didn't make it. Both of the netherland dwarfs were first time mothers so I didn't expect too much form them. But Im suprised my flemish giant did this . Well I guess I have one last bun, a jersey wooly, that I'm crossing my fingers for . She is do on Sunday/Monday.

ok i just HAD to comment on this

counting your chickens before they hatch is a GREAT idea, when they hatch they run around so darn much ya cant count them!

It a saying I heared. If you have 10 eggs to put under your hen that dosn't mean you'll get 10 chicks. There is usually always a bad egg, one gets kicked out, or crushed. So thats why you count the chicks when their here .
