Nubian Roman nose question...

[dhansen]

Are Nubian kids born with a "Roman nose" or does it develop within a few weeks or later? I am wondering because I have a doe with a beautiful nubian head, but her kids rarely have that big Roman nose.

I assume, like with all of creation, genetic differences will cause each individual to look a bit different. I have been to a few Nubian births, and the kids just have a "smaller" version of their parents heads.

Here are a couple of "head" photos of some new Nubian kids

This one is Mama and daughter just after birth.

Here are the Triplets

Hope that helps a bit.

Do your kids have a different kind of nose? Like the Alpine or Nigerian goats?

No, they are all purebred Nubian and look like Nubians. It's just that one of the moms has a big and protruding Roman nose. I have not really seen this on any of her kids.
