How many do you think? 3-4?

She's never had more than 2
She's just wide
Or as I prefer to say she has "excellent body capacity"

 

[Southern by choice]

Yeah... we have a few like that.

Shouldn't be too long now
But might be a long night
We might break our streak of having kids at a decent hour

Ugh. Hate it when they string it along! Can't say I'm jealous, staying up all night sitting in a kidding stall with a goat licking your face all night can get old after the first ten or so.

I penned one of our girls up tonight. She is on day 151 and still has her ligs but I brought her up so I can check her first thing.

Be happy you dam raise! When you bottle raise, it doesn't end after the doe kids. That is only the beginning when you bottle feed.

We had 5 babies tonight
Ginger had twin does
Rosemary had 2 bucks and a doe
Ginger had a tough time with the 2nd one praying for her
Two of Rosie's are small
We have 3 staying in the house tonigjt

Congrats on the new kids. Hope Ginger and her babies are doing well.

Getting ready to go to bed
Been a long night
Rosie's first buckling was 3-6 oz
The other buckling and the doe are 1-13 oz
Gingers first doe came fine the second one was all twisted up
I thought she was going to be DOA
Seems we may have stretched the ligaments in her front legs and she was not able to stand on them
One seems better and we have splint the other so she is up
All 3 are in the house and taking a bottle well
So optimistic
It was crazy for a while
Rosie went into labor 10 mins after we got that second kid out of Gimger

[frustratedearthmother]

Oh wow...praying that all do well. Congrats on getting two over with at one time!
