Holachicka's first kidding thread. FINALLY baby pics!

[Holachicka]

Hi everyone! This is my first kidding season! I have 4 dairy does, 3 of which are very preggers, one who may be miscarrying

First Doe due would be my Emma! She's a 2 year old lamancha, FF, bred Nov 16. Due April 14.

She is too sweet, makes it hard to get good pics when she wants to lean on you for pets...

and one from behind!

She is very feminine, petite framed so her belly looks like a beach ball on sticks! What do you think? one kid?

I am just not experienced enough to try to predict how many kids, but she sure is cute.

 

[Holachicka]

Aw thanks. I think so too!

The next doe due on the line, 4/25, would be our Lucy! (short for lucifer as she is our only horned goat) She is our herd queen because of those horns but really a sweetheart with her peoples... 2 year old alpine, FF. We got her at 3 months old, and after the first day, I realized she was so sick with pneumonia, cocci and other ailments that we had already dug a grave for her! She's not looking sickly any more!

You got a treat for me?

Did you DROP a treat for me?

You don't have treats, I'm going back to the hay!

Well I would have never thought her baby would be born with horns.......

 

[Holachicka]

Sorry! did I make it sound like Emma had kidded?

This is Lev Trotski, He's the buck we had visit for a "romantic holiday". Real sweet little alpine boy(6 months old in the pic), even during the stinky season! Isn't he pretty?

He is very handsome. I love a buck who is proud of himself. It just shows.

Nice! He matches your girls very well.

Our next prego doe would be Honey! 2 year old Toggenburg, FF, Due 4/26 and low man on the totem pole. She will even let me trim her hooves in the middle of the field. Don't have to tie her or fight with her she is just so easy going. her tummy is different from the other girls, it hangs down low more often than it goes out sideways!
