My last doe due to kid this month gave birth to 5 babies but only 4 living.... The first 2 came out easy but the third was all jammed in.. Took me a good 15 min and elbow deep in momma to get her out.. The 4th baby came easy but the 5 baby was jammed in saem position the 3rd was in.. This was fully formed but DOA but you could tell he passed a while ago even though he was bigger then the other 4. I knew as soon as the water broke on him that he wasnt alive cause it was a nasty rusty brown. These babies are soooo tiny but doing good....

3 does 1 buck!

So sorry you had such a tough delivery to go through. Those are never any fun. But you've got some beautiful babies there and congratulations!
