They are adorable.

Rose finished kidding with assistance around 12:49am! We ended up making Rose a pen in our living room since she was NOT happy when we were away from her. My oldest daughter was sitting right next to Rose. Rose has chosen my oldest as her person.
Rose had started pushing. However she was not progressing. I decided to go in. Thank goodness I did!!! She had two kids trying to come out at once!!! Last night was absolutely terrifying! I was able to move one and get one started in the birth canal. She still was struggling not getting the other out. Went back in. AGAIN two trying to come out at once!!! They were all tangled up trying to be delivered at once. This happened with every kid!!! Finally down to the last one, his head was backwards!!! Rose had QUADS! She is 8 days shy of her 1st birthday. Would have liked to have her kid after her first.
Rose had 1 doe, 3 bucks!

Congrats! You are good goat mom! 
We had the same thing happen a few years ago. My doe Leah was a small FF (2 years old though) and had quads. First kid came without an issue, then an ear and leg presented... different kids. Got everything untangled and and the dam was okay. She also had 3 bucks & 1 doe!
This doe has since kidded 2 times since then, and will freshen next month. Each time having quads & quints! Other then her first kidding, she doesn't need assistance birthing.
Will you be keeping any?

I hope Rose is like Leah with not needing assistance her next kiddings. We are keeping the doe. Bucks will be wethered. DH is in love with the grey looking one. He might be staying. lol We will see after Honey kids. He loves all the baby goats. He is completely smitten with them. If he had his way NONE would leave.

Thank you everyone. We love all the babies. What does a freemartin look like? Should I be worried that the doe may possibly be?
The weights of Rose's kids are 4.1, 3.4, 3.1 & 3 lbs.
They're still in the living room. lol. Want to make sure they're all eating. Should Rose be able to feed all 4 or should I be thinking about bottle feeding 1 or 2?
