Goat Whisperer's & SBC's kidding thread: kidding storm

[sadieml]

That doeling is a beauty! Thank heaven you 2 were both there, sounds like you were NEEDED. Hope you're able to get some rest, Southern. We're still running heavy on the doelings, aren't we? Good! Guy I'm looking to get 1 or 2 from has a doe due in like 2 weeks. I'm hoping for 2 doelings. Still keeping my eyes peeled for a Nubian and/or a LaMancha. Gotta do fecals next week, Jaeger has dates, soon. Hoping for doelings, there, too.

Stopped at the local feed 'n' seed today and ended up coming home with 2 bantam cochins! They were irresistible! Not sure what kind of cochin bantams, but I've been searching pics. Pretty sure 1 is a Partridge cochin bantam but the other could be brown cochin, birchen, or mottled per pics. I guess we'll see! Also, they're unsexed, so we could end-up with a rooster! I promised the kids that we won't eat these 2 no matter what 'cause they were so excited, and they're our first 2, so I really hope they're both female. I really don't want a rooster. I guess we'll see!

DOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


They are so beautiful! We got to them a few minutes after she had them. The 1st was mostly clean but the 2nd only had part of the face cleared. I towel dried then and then used the blow dryer. We weren't planning on pulling her kids anyway, I just do joint-custody with her.

I cannot believe we missed it! I'm just happy for 2 healthy girls.

I feel that we have been very blessed this year!
