Everybody's doing great.
Brought the littlest one in first night and gave about 3 syringes of colostrum in a syringe because we were a little concerned with her vigor.
But everybody is doing great now, and nursing well. All of the little bellies are nice and fat. Coleus is doing well too.
It got down in the 30's last night but they are in a little goat ball keeping each other warm.
We bought her after she freshened her first time and she was dry. Breeder bottle raised his babies.
We are dam raising and she is doing a great job as a mom.
Seems to be producing enough for everyone. Her udder was huge before she kidded.
They were born Wed and I think we will move them from a kidding stall to a nursery pen tomorrow. Will get more pics.

Coleus is a great mom. Making plenty of milk for the 4 of them.
Her udder looks great. Can't wait for the shows in May.

Congrats! They sure are cute. My doe was also bred on Halloween, and kidded on Good Friday. Funny how that works. :)

Aww they are so sweet:weee
Do any of them have blue eyes? How many females? and are they spoken for?
2 males 2 females.

No blue eyes, neither dam nor sire had that trait.
