BAF kidding! Fainter wait is on!

[Bucking Adoeable Fainters]

You are @Sweetened?!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!!
Having all those extra hormones sure makes the whole kidding a bit more emotional that and everything else!!

Please make sure you read up on being involved involved with delivery and the afterbirth. There are dangerous miscarriage properties with the placenta. I had to glove up (and wear a mask!) obviously to help pull my stillborn last year, but i wasn't allowed anywhere near the afterbirth and the goopy gooey.

So extremely happy for you my friend. Xoxoxoxo

Thankyou for that, i didnt mean to hijack by saying it, but i didnt realize there was any problem with that. Ill have to see if i can find some long nitriles. I dont usually use gloves, i avoid them at all costs really, but one of my does needed assistance last year and could be the same this year.

Just read the whole thread and im in love...

You're not hijacking anything! This is all celebration of births! So very happy for you.

Yes pllllllease be careful. There's plenty of info out there on the risks, and what to-dos. i just used gloves, and a little paper mask from the home store. Absolutely no issues.

So glad you enjoyed @luvmypets!!

@Bucking Adoeable Fainters
We only have one ewe and she isnt due until two months soooo I love to see everyone elses kid/lamb pics!

They are just sooooo cute I cant help but be jealous

 

[Bucking Adoeable Fainters]

How do you only have one ewe?!!!!! Nevermind, if my husband reads this, he might learn some trade secret to having a small herd....shhhhhh!!!!!

Always happy to share pics. I'm a huge fan too!!!

 

[luvmypets]

Well I want more like alot! But we have so many other animals, that costs are a little high atm. I wish we could have some more ewe's and a couple does and a buck but it really isnt an option atm. If we could We would have goats/sheep overload

I brought the preggo girls over to the kiddie turn out while we gutted the birthing pen. I heard Fantasy making some loud yells, but i figured she was just hollering to her boyfriend, who is a clear eye shot away....after about 5min i went to check on her, and i swear on everything i thought that girl was going to deliver right there. Holy mooooo! I seriously have never seen a fainter as huge as she is right now. I even started milking out the other gals who are weaning so i have milk in case she has quads.

Look at this last pic and tell me this girl doesn't look like she is about to give birth! My gosh! She was even cleaning her teats, and seemed to have contractions. ...shes only 140 =/ IF she took on the first day she was bred.

 

[Southern by choice]

hope she does not go too early. I always worry with more than 3. Trips-ok quads and quints make me nervous.

 

[Bucking Adoeable Fainters]

Between you and me @Southern I'm scared to death!!!!! I'm just trying to be prepared. Truth be told, she has been our favorite doe since day 1. We have a kid from all of her Kiddings. She has ALWAYS thrown twins. ALWAYS. Her twin, the white/Mahogany in the pic, throws trips. So we knew it was a possibility. When our friend and her previous owner came when Bambi was in distress back in November, she said she was huge then! Now with trips being in her gene pool, and quads being on our sires side (grand-sire was a quad) I just have no idea.

Just hoping for the best, HUGE kids in there....and being prepared for the worst, too many and needing to bottle feed/expert intervention.

We were supposed to officially move into our new house this weekend....i don't see that happening. All bad timing.
