Marker Acres Kid Watch! - Merlin kidded 4/4! Pics pg. 3!

The 2 Nigerian girls I bought earlier this year are due to kid at the end of the month! Just thought you all might like to follow along.

#1 Gotta B Kid N Spectacular (Spec) - Due 3/29. Possibility of moonspots on the babies. She has a pretty good udder going. She was also attacked by a dog yesterday...got some pretty nasty wounds all over her neck, but nothing deep. I was afraid she might go into premature labor, but so far so good.

#2 Gypsy Moon Merlin - Due 4/1. Possible blue eyes and moonspots on babies. She looks like she is starting to build a tiny udder, but nothing for sure. I hope she's really bred like she's suppose to be. They're so fat in general I have a hard time telling with these guys!

Good luck! My Gypsy Moon doe is related to your Merlin through Majic. She's also black with moonspots! Nice looking girls, indeed.

Just a quick update. Spec's bag blew up pretty big overnight, although it's still not "strutted." She's due in 7 days, so kids any time!

I'm still not seeing much of a bag at all on Merlin and am really wondering if she's bred and due when the previous owner thought. I guess we shall see.

Pretty girls and the moonspots.

I am thinking lots of spotty doe thoughts for you!

Sad update - Spec had twin bucklings last night while I was at work (doe code at its finest) and I found them both dead when I got home this morning. I think one of them died during the trauma of the dog attack b/c it was kind of mushy like it was partially decomposing. It was all black and white like her. The other one was solid black with a tiny white spot. He had the amniotic sac over his face, so I don't know if that killed him or he was stillborn. Poor Spec. I feel so bad that she had to go through labor so soon after the attack and doesn't have any babies to show for it. Everywhere I touch her is still crackly (subcutaneous emphysema from the attack), including her udder above the portion that holds the milk. She seems to be feeling better though and most of the wounds have healed. I'm so sad about the boys.

Merlin is starting to bag up just a little. I'm still wondering if she's really due 4/1 like she's suppose to be. She doesn't look fat at all. I guess we'll see.
