I just saw you pull the kid's head out.

I believe the two fingers is to show if it's a doe or a buck. I've noticed them do that after each babi is born. I'm not sure which one is which though, anyone know?

Javamama said over on SS that one finger is a buckling and 2 is a doeling. I think.

I just found the info on this - 1 finger is buck, 2 fingers means doe. The other doe, Bling, that was kidding today had 3, 2 does and a buck but they lost one of the doelings.

Ruffi had a single doeling.

And I missed it all.....

I'm watching Pelican Acres now - they have a low alert on one of their does.

It looked like Ruffi had a hard delivery - anyone know what happened? I haven't yet seen the other doe they had on camera, but she looked to be in labor for a while too.

I watched - it wasn't too bad, but did seem to need a little assistance to get the baby out. Ruffi wasn't at a great angle for the camera but I'm thinking perhaps a leg was back - that's what it kinda looked like but I'm not positive. It seemed a long labor, but once she really started pushing I don't think it took more than just a few minutes.

It was the first time I'd ever watched a goat kidding but that was the impression I got too. Those two women are so calm throughout everything it's hard to tell how scary it might be. I only knew there was a problem with the other goat because they moved the camera off her.

Oh and thanks, guess what I'll be watching all day!

Hen - you should have seen the triplet delivery they did about a week and a half ago. They had to go in and pull each kid out of the doe themselves. I was certain they lost the last kid, but they held it up by it's feet for a second, cleared it's throat and all was good.

I was watching a doe from pelican acres for a little while last night - she was on low alert but this morning it's back to the community room so I'm not sure if she kid or not.
