Oh! More good news! The doe I have been waiting for, who was supposed to have twins, just delivered triplets. The breeder just sent me pics and I get first choice. All three were does! I am going to pic our new baby tomorrow. So excited! And I will be able to use Ira's milk with her. Also, there will only be 3 days between the kids!

Wow, you are going to be overrun with babies here! Congrats on the cuties! They are so very pretty! I'm thinking I want a nubian now.......

Well, I went to the breeder yesterday and she told me that I might need to choose another doe depending on whether I wanted a show goat or one with great color. She showed my the very colorful doe that I wanted which was born Mon and her ears didn't even reach her nose!! She was brown with a few black marks and a splotchy white saddle and frosted ears. Very pretty... It doesn't even make sense when you look at her sire and dam and bloodlines!

Anyway, I imagine it would be easier to breed color into conformation so I chose a doe with excellent conformation, as much as you can tell at 6 days old, and with good coloring if not spectacular. I am very happy with my choice. I only wish I could have also purchased her full brother as his coloring was mottled dark brown, black, and moon spots. He was spectacular! But DH said no boys... I am working on him.

These next two pics are of our new doe which we are thinking of calling Rocky Road or Roadetta... Our twins are also in the pics. they are 4 days old and she was born on the 3rd of Feb.

We also picked up two yearlings that have been bred, Fawn Dew and Pecan Pie

I will take appropriate pics so that I can see how they are progressing with their pregnancy and post them as well. hehe, more babies!

Oh, and my twins are constipated... I read to give an enema of olive oil and I did but it hasn't helped enough... What else can I do? They are very active and playful and hungry and I wouldn't even know if I didn't watch so closely. I have seen them both try to poop but they have been unable to do so. I don't want to wait until it becomes a serious problem. They have not gone in at least 2 days...

They may not be constipated. They may just be digesting everything so well that they have very little to fill the colon with and won't need to poop on a daily basis. Milk has no fiber in it. If they seem uncomfortable then worry about them and take action, but if not they are probably fine. I had the same problem with my daughter when she was a newborn. I nursed her and she didn't poop for a whole week! I called the doctor and he asked if she seemed uncomfortable and "no she didn't seem to be." He said to give her a glycerin suppository and see what that produced. She did poop with that, and it was just a small amount. She just digested it so well that she had nothing left to poop. Youir babies may be the same way. I don't see many of ET's little gold poops in the pen area, and I think I would see it if it was there, because it's a really small area. I think she just doesn't go that often. That will change when she gets on roughage and it should.

Your goats are beautiful! I wouldn't worry about the babies unless they are hunched up a lot or not active.
