Pictures coming up after they dry.

One white with airplane ears. The other is very odd colored. She has a very very light silver almost white head on a white body with dark ear and nose leather.

ok cant find anything that gives me actual temps. so I made the billy a coat and blocked all the drafts with a tarp and put a whole bale of hay on the floor cause I don't have straw. It is going to get down to 15 tonight, you think they will be ok?

I would think if the shelter keeps the wind, rain, etc. out and the bedding is thick, they should be ok. I would definitely recommend a baby goat sweater, though. The suggestion about baby socks on ears and legs isn't bad either.

Our girls have starting kidding! Our first doe, Sophie, went nine days early, and took me by surprise. She had ligaments when I checked her less than 24 hours earlier, no other signs at all, and then *boom!* I go out for the afternoon feeding, and there's a tiny, weak doeling in the pasture. The little doe was small enough she needed some extra TLC, so we've had a sweet bottle baby for the past few days. We named her Ami, which supposedly means "conqueror of death" in Nigerian and "little friend" in French. Mom is finally figuring out the nursing thing and baby can now maintain her body temp, so we're trying to keep Ami with mom full-time starting today. Our house bunny is really going to miss her. They've been hopping around together all week long. The picture below doesn't do it justice - I'll try to upload the video I took. The video doesn't get the best stuff, either - of course all the crazy adorable stuff happens when cameras are out of reach...



Our only experienced Mom, Holly, (LOL, if you can call 2nd freshening 'experienced) had a set of twins some time in the wee hours of the morning. She also fooled me. Her ligaments were squishy last night, but still there, and she had NO other labor signs. Fortunately, she had no complications. She had a girl and a boy, and they were dry, clean and energetic when I got out there around 6:00am this morning. I'll post pics of them soon.
