Coleus had quads
2 boys
2 girls
Kind of rough going
2nd kid was big boy and rump first legs underneath breach and was in there awhile about
30 mins after first
Maurine wasn't home
4th kid was too but smaller
They all seem ok
Probably going to have vet out tomorrow to check Coleus like I said rough on her

Glad they all made it! Glad Coleus is doing ok.
Yes that sounds very rough. Poor girl.
So did you push him back in and pull the legs out from under him? Hard with big hands, I always feel sorry for the doe when a man's hands have to do the pulling.

Like you, I like 2! 3 is ok but 4 always a worry.

You are getting some does this year! Woo Hoo!

You think I did it??
I don't know nothin bout birthin no babies
No Maurine is the one who births the babies
Yea she got legs pointed right
I literally had to hold her in a headlock from front
I put her head on my shoulder with my right arm over top and my left arm underneath
With her screaming in my ear
It was pretty bad
I hate quads
She has had trips, quads, trips and quads
She is an ovulating machine
