Patches gave birth at 8 am this morning! Two beautiful and HEALTHY baby girls! So far so good! I rebedded their hut, rubbed the girls down with a warm towel, helped them find the teat, and cleaned their stumps!
Here are some pics of the new family!
I am SO happy! Two girls! How could I be so LUCKY! They are real beauties too and their markings or out of this world!

congrats on the two cute kiddos - twin doelings feel GREAT! dont they?
can I ask, if she always tethered, and why?
I've had a doe loop her rope round a newborn kids neck and choke it, not a happy situation

Nope she is not always tethered. Before she kidded I would move her daily along our fence line so she got first choice on the good eats before the billy's came in as "clean up crew" Usually I use electric fence, but I just didn't feel right if there was a small chance a VERY pregnant Doe would get zapped.
When I went to move her last night I noticed she was in hard labor and didn't want touched. I took the chain off at the swivel link and left the two feet alone as not to stress her out.
This morning I took the smaller link off.
The does are both up and drinking! I am OVER THE MOON excited! The alpha female came right into the hut like she owned the place and licked patches (beta female). It was like she had to approve of her kids. Queen Bee (the alpha female) is my next to kid! She is old hat and I expect twins out of her too!
