Georgia kidded today. I came home at lunchtime to find she had had twins. The little buckskin boy was standing around all fluffy and fine. The little girl didn't make it. I found her still wet and cold and did my best to get her going but to no avail. I am terribly sad, but trying to be grateful that Georgia and her other little one are fine. Of course the little girl was a blue eyed chocolate with racing stripes (think giant white Nike swoosh down her whole side) and would have been a keeper.....
Georgia is a world class witch right now, protecting her kid from everything. He is already trying to hang with Spellbounds kids. Spellys little girl happened to think she should be in my arms again and again, while I was trying to get pics of the new kid. So I just gave up and held her while she snoozed in my arms. I was hoping for a girl from Spelly to take the spot Whoa Nellie left....Thinking about it.....
Reese should be any time now. Her udder is much firmer and she is acting nervous. I am most worried about her. Last year, her third kid had her head bent back and we didn't get her out in time.
Jane did fine last year, but the year before she had a rough kidding and lost her baby.... I hope they both kid while I am on watch....I will feel much better when everyone is done and safe......
Reese had triplets at 3 am. All girls. I guess she got the memo.....One is quite a bit tinier but at the moment is doing fine. Pray they are all OK while I am at work....
Here is all six.....Top buckskin is Spells girl and the bigger chocolate on the left is Spells boy. They are 4 days old and 5# 6oz, 5# 11 oz......Big buckskin baby boy at the bottom is Georgias baby that arrived yesterday 5# 6 oz.......The three across the middle are Reeses girls....chocolate, light buckskin, Chocolate buckskin (this one is TINY! only 1#14 oz!!!!!)....going to weight the other 2 right now.....
The little one is trying to nurse off Georgias boy that is more than 2 times her size.....
