Here are the pics!! They arent great, but I will get more tomorrow! Only one is gross- its the afterbirth, and I have a question about it....

First up is the first born doeling-

Next is a picture of the 3rd born with 1st born- I was still holding the 2nd born and drying her off in my lap.

Heres the whole clan- buck in the back aganst the wall, doeling and buckling in the middle together, doeling to the right side

YABBA DABBA KID!!!

GROSS PICTURE WARNING- NEXT PIC IS AFTERBIRTH.....



Heres the afterbirth- Question: What are all the red spots? Dont look if you get grossed out easy

Oh, we decided to pull the two smaller kids, boy and girl, and bring them in and bottle feed them to get them stronger. I am nervous about this. How often do we feed newborns????? I milked out colostrom for them- Yabba is an easy milker w/tons of colostrom- but I dont know how much to give them per feeding or how often. Any advice/past experience sharing would be MUCH appreciated!

OMG!! You did great. What an experience. I love the look on Yabba's face in the first pic. It is like, "Whatta u mean I gotta do it again?" Beautiful babies. Hope all goes well with them. I wish I had some answers to your questions about bottle feeding, but that is an area that I am totally dumb in. I will be interested in the answers myself. As for the red spots, I don't have a clue. Again, congtrats!!

Congratulations and they are BEAUTIFUL!!

I read that the spots are where the placenta was attached to the uterus and are no need for concern. Sorry I can't remember where I read that though, I have been doing lots of reading on goats lately lol.

Can't tell ya what the red things are, but....looks "normal" to me.....Congrats on the quads.

Wonderful babies. Two and two. Afterbirth is blood supply from uterus and attachments to uterine wall. Amazing. Yabba looks amazing for such a big birth of so many babies. Congratulations again. Feed those babies whatever they will take at this point.
