Loving the herd life
As some of you know, I had a "newbie crisis" some time earlier because I wasn't sure of everything that needed to happen before my doe kids. But I think I've gotten everything sorted out . She's been given all her needed vaccinations and supplements and I have her birth kit ready, so all I need to do yet is give her a "birth shave" and set up heat lamps sometime when its closer to her kidding date. But I think we're getting close! At first I didn't know when exactly she would be due. The breeder we bought her from said she could be due between January 28 to March 16. Luckily I think she will be having her kids closer to Jan 28!! She is HUGE right now and her udder is filling up. Its not really full but its definitely getting there. I feel so bad for my doe, Razz, because she is so prego that she waddles around and can't even lay on the ground comfortably. She'll lay on the ground like a big blog and make soft moaning noises because she's uncomfortable. It's sad but its also kind of funny. I'm hoping, because her tummy is so big, that she'll give triplets again this year. (Last year she had triplets with her previous owner.)
I'm so excited! And very anxious! I just want babies already! I really hope I'm prepared enough, though my friends say I'm over-prepared (if thats possible) because I've done so much researching lately . I'm working on getting pictures so I can start my kidding thread.
