I delivered a lil doeling this morning!!

I have been posting about waiting on my doe Mapel to deliver... but ummmm welllll .... one of my other does Demore' delivered a little black and white doeling this morning. I feel so bad the poor girl has not gotten the attention because I was so focused on Mapel.
Demore' is a small girl, her tummy was not very large at all, and her udder is only about the size of a large apple.... albeit a very full apple.

Sooo, Im outside feeding everyone this morning and notice Demore is in labor! I couldn't get her to come in the barn, so we did it in the field. It took her maybe 30 minutes to deliver one tiny and flashy black and white doeling with crystal blue eyes. Buckley is the proud daddy who watched it all from the other yard.

I was surprised that all through labor Demore was still grazing on grass and hay, between yells. And as soon as the baby was out and cleaned up, she went right back to eating the hay I brought her... silly girl. I moved the baby into the barn under a heat lamp and mommy followed.

Anyway, it was a text book delivery. Demore' was great and everything that was supposed to happen, happened Baby is standing and nursing. Demore is eating and drinking.

YAY
