First litter of Flemish Giants

[Ms. Research]

They came from a show breeder, w/ full pedigrees.

They're unrelated, and both pedigrees have black and blue parents / grandparents / etc.

And yes, she's half bald now. Her dewlap, anyway.

She doesn't mind me reaching in to give her hay. But if my hand goes near the nest box....Grrrrrr and here she comes, LOL. I dunno if she'd bite me, but she sure acts like she would. I see no reason to tempt fate.

I'll try and get pics of the parents posted soon. It's very dark in the bun barn and my camera only cooperates between 4 and 5, when the sun's going down / aiming right for the windows.

eta:, Sorry I missed your earlier question Ms.R - DH bought her at a show when she was 2 mos old and has toted her around / loved on her since, just waiting for her to be 10 mos. so he could breed her. ALL SUMMER all I heard was, "Is it August yet???" His buck is a yearling now. He's sired other litters w/ our Cali doe and a flemish X we had....these are our 1st pure babies.

Congratulate your DH for his 1st pure babies. Love to hear that he was so excited. Kind of makes you see yourself and how excited you are with special kid births. And yes, I can bet you both at each other for your impatience. Congratulations to both of you. Wishing you both more excitement and healthy kits and kids.
