It's that time again! :celebrate

First up is Penelope, a purebred Myotonic (fainting) goat. She will be two years old this coming June, and is a first freshener. Her first heat last fall was November 8th, and she never came into heat again so we had an Ultrasound done on her by our vets (December 18), and she is pregnant with twins!
Her udder is huge, and has been for the past month. Penelope is due April 1st (day 145).
All pictures are from yesterday:

That udder... :ep

Kendall is a Registered Mini-Lamancha, and she turned one year old on November 23rd. Five days earlier our buck, Romeo, had covered her. She also had an Ultrasound on December 18th, which showed she is also pregnant with twins! :weee

She's due April 11th (day 145), and is an FF.

And last of all, Magnolia. She is Penelope's twin, and she came into heat December 18th, and I saw Romeo cover her countless times before he lost interest. She's due May 11th (day 145), and she hasn't had an Ultrasound yet because this time I want it to be a surprise! She just started developing an udder, I am so happy! This will be her first time.

What do you think about all of them condition wise?

Their feed rations:

Magnolia & Kendall: one cup (total) mixture of black oil sunflower seeds (BOSS); alfalfa hay; alfalfa pellets; kelp; and coconut flakes if we have them. Penelope gets the same mixture, except she gets two cups of it.

I don't know about the ration, but to me they look quite happy and content. They seem to be in pretty good shape, you can tell they're carrying kids. Their coats look real nice and shiny.

No, I don't know. $:\$
We got the coconut flakes from online, and on the bag it said that it's for horses, goats, rabbits, dogs, cats, & chickens. All of our animals like them and we thought it would be good for the goats, especially while they're pregnant. I made up the mix.
