Well, Vicey (Saanen, FF) is due Friday and just got moved to the kidding pen (with a buddy, Ginger). She will hang out there at night, but be in the pasture with the other goats during the day until we think she is closer. Or, if we drop the ball like we did with Aravis, and don't notice until she's too close to move so she kids with an audience then we give her a wagon ride to the kidding pen.
Look at what we got this morning. A huge Saanen doeling. I checked on Edelweiss, the dam, at 12 and 4am, then at 6:15 went out and decided to wake up my daughter. She had her around 6:30am.
@OneFineAcre - you're welcome for adding in a doeling for a better start to the year.
It's been busy!
Wattles (Sky) had twin bucklings last Thursday night. Flashy A buckskin and a tan with moon spots. Then we had a break.
Yesterday the 5th Gwen kidded triplets at 3am. We arrived to her cleaning up the last girl and Spice and Queeny each cleaning one and trying to steal it! Put them in a stall. Two tan moonspotty girls and a buckskin boy. Then around 2 Spice had a huge 5# single doeling. Flashy buckskin.
Today Orchid (black and white) quads around 3. When lost a doeling at birth but she had another doeling (tan moonspotty with wattles!) and two buckskin boys. Super exciting since we have been waiting 4 years for a doeling from her!
That leaves Queeny at day 147 today and exceedingly grouchy and upset she doesn't have a baby or two or three to cuddle.
Ahhh! I can't wait to have baby goats here! Your goat kids are adorable! Our journey has been rocky this far but we have one due in January. She kidded triplet does for her prev owner and I couldn't be more pleased if she repeated this for me!
