Sorry about the little girl, good for the little boy, I'm amazed at how tiny he is compared to the other one! Best thoughts for him!

I couldn't ask for better really.
He's tiny. Sounds like a squeaky toy. He nurses great if you put him in the general vicinity of the teet. He might be eating on his own, but we haven't seen him so we go out there at least 6 times a day to help him eat. He can barely reach- but has a great suck! I need to weigh him again, but he's pooping a lot so I'm pretty sure he's getting plenty in. By his weight he'd get 4 oz a day if he was bottle fed- that's hardly anything!
This shows how small he is.

That's great
I went out for his 6am feeding and momma called him out of the crate (their favorite place to sleep) and he nursed all by himself! Yay! She's so patient- she must know he's tiny and need more time. Big brother came out a minute later and joined him.
As far as Prissy: I'm guessing she must be due April 5-11, but I really have no clue. Gave her CD&T today along with my yearling grade doeling who is looking a bit too wide. :/

Great news on the bucks! Sorry about your little doeling. 
Here's wishing the rest of your girls successful deliveries.

Little guy is still hanging in there. He seemed a bit under the weather today. We were gone all day Saturday (our neighbor checked on him twice) and this morning. Got kind of worried around 5, but had to leave for a few hours so we took him with us. 102.4 temp, so no fever. But, eyes are a bit cloudy and seems a tiny bit snotty- but not wheezy or anything green. Nursing plus I made him drink 1/2 oz. A little poop in 3 1/2 hours and a huge pee- in my lap, trough the towel and through my pants onto the car seat. Lol. We left him with mom since I really think he will do better with her- and it's warmer out there than inside anyway.
Other news: If Prissy has Nigerian cross babies she must have a bunch. This is before I gave hay an fed dinner Saturday.

It's been a while!
Prissy had her babies this morning- twin bucklings. Arrrr. Happy for healthy mom and babies but more than one girl would be nice. She was loose last night- but popped those babies out all on her own about 30 minutes before we were out feeding. They were standing and mostly dry in the goat pen with her. They are a repeat of our other three sets of Lamancha twins in the last year. One black with some white and another tricolor with lots of white on the back half and Swiss markings on face. He has waddles.
Sadly, little Pipsqueek died a day or two after my last post. Never a fever or anything. I really think he was just too early. However, the Last we got Queen from (his mom) had quads (3d:1b) the day after and she sent the tiniest girl down with a friend for my daughter. She's a tiny little buckskin. She named her Lasaralene and we call her Leena.
Our two "pet" Nigerians are due May 16/18 and I'm pretty confident they took since they both have a nice full handful of udder underneath their shaggy coats.
Then- no more babies until at least October. We are going to try to CIDR two Lamanchas next week to get some fall babies.
Ruby's now 12 week boys are going to Alabama (1 wether, 1 intact) with a old family friend and her 8 year old Lamancha doe at the end of the month.
Our remaining two Nigerian boys are going to N Florida to be spoiled as pets on May 9th when the youngest is 8 weeks.
