Nina - WE HAVE BABIES - LOTS OF PICS

[ThreeBoysChicks]

I am very calm. This morning she was very content. She ate her morning feed. Her Udder has increased over the last 24 hours, but still no boom. Her ligaments are still pretty firm. I am thinking another day or so for sure.

Five days to go. I can hardly wait! I want to see her babies. She will probably kid RIGHT on time at 4 in the afternoon. Are you going to be home all day, that day?

Yes I am working from home Thursday and Friday. If I think she is close I will also work from home tomorrow Wednesday.

I have waited for this day for years. Nina is an amazing animals as are all of God's Creation... Nina did it all on her own. They were dried off and happy. I have dipped their cords this morning and Nina ate her morning feed.


So last night, I went out and she ate her feed right up, she modelled her udder for me. I was thinking, that looks pretty boom to me, but she was acting normal. And there was no discharge.

This morning I go out and she is looking all calm and then I thought, wait, she looks skinny.

And then I look over along the wall and there they are. She called them and they went right to her.

Are you ready for this. My Nina gave me twin doelings. No spots that I have found, but I am ok with that. Very healthy little girls. I have checked no less than five times because I am amazed that they are twin girls.


So with out further delay, here they are. Right now, the lighter colored one is Doe 1 and the black one is Doe 2. And they are not for sale.

They have both nursed.

Nina is an excellent mother and doing great.

Not even if someone offered you $10.000?

Congratulations! Beautiful girls! Glad to hear it went on without incident.

Congrats on the new little girls. They are very cute. Glad they have long legs or they might trip over their ears. Just kidding. I love seeing babies and am so jealous. I have to wait a while longer and not sure how long since the breeder can't tell me when she saw mine in with the bucks. Hope only about a month. Keep the pictures coming. Love to see happy endings.

 

[ThreeBoysChicks]

Oh - Also - I checked. Both have only 2 teats and look normal.

It might be tempting, but I doubt it. I know I will not be able to keep every baby that is born here, but these are the first and they are girls and I wanted some more Does. So it works.

Congrats!!! I got online this morning and had to take a double take when I read your title on the thread! Just goes to show that with all the preparation and watching and waiting you just never know when they are going to surprise you and have them without you. They are beautiful! I love the light colored one and her white patch on her side. Of course the dark one is adorable too! Twin doelings and keepers, Nina did a great job!
