Barn camera up with nigerian kids on the way again :)

Wow, you are a trooper. How is the other kid doing?

I'm keeping my eye on the doeling. I never see her take a good long drink. The kid seems to have energy and must be getting milk but when I went out last night, she only poked at the udder and took about 3 swallows, same thing this morning. I was watching the camera at point this morning and Explosive kept nudging the kid to her udder but again the kid wasn't drinking. Maybe she drank prior to that and had a full belly already but until I actually see her drink I won't feel at ease. I keep watching for any signs of weakness in the kid. Just want to make sure she will be fine since she is the only survivor & the sire lives 2 states away so I can't repeat that breeding.

Hooray, and right after I posted that I peeked in on my camera to see Explosive wake the doeling up and give her a big long drink *sigh of relief*
