Thanks everyone! I am SO happy with them. Trigoat, these babies are bottle babies too. They were all trips or quads, and born within 5 to 7 days of when my other bottle babies were born. The red one is 10 pounds heavier than my original bottle babies, the paints are only 2 pounds less than her. So I was more impressed with their size, etc. for their age. I know the doe I bought was in a group of does, and they kind of threw her in the package, and she was supposed to be half Kiko/half Boer. She is registered and that is what her papers say, but she wasn't very big at all. Her kids were born pretty good size, about 8 pounds, I fed them 4 times a day til about a week ago, now they are down to 3 times a day. The kids I brought home, are already cut down to 2 times a day and eating hay pretty good, they nibble at grain.
We'll see if the others catch up.....I hope so. I really wanted to keep the doeling.

As of now, with the purchase of the 3 Boki's, 20 does/doelings. 2 bucklings, want to sell one of them. And 2 Boer bucks. 3 market wethers but I don't count them as they will be going to fair end of July. Sold 14 last month, and would like to keep it about right where it is now.

I love them! :love And I need to take more pics, and weigh them tomorrow. I swear they have gained weight already. They didn't slow down eating or show any stress for being moved to a new place. I still feed my first 2 bottle babies 3 times a day, so these got put back on 3 times too, they are only a few days older than my others anyway.
