Thanks everyone! They sure are super cute and fun! I know there's that whole doe code thing, but seriously...no one told Peekaboo! She was towards the beginning of her due date window, it was a no-school day (so hubby was home), middle of the day, other goats out of the way in the other pasture, pleasant weather, BOTH my human kids napped through it...She couldn't have picked a better time if she tried, lol!

The boys have had their first three bottles, and seem to be figuring it out pretty good. So far, they are taking about 3-3.5 oz each per bottle ( I read somewhere that 1oz/lb of body weight is good (per bottle) the 1st day, so at 3 and 4 lbs, they are getting right about what they should).

Peekaboo is not giving tons of milk, but she is giving enough (well, last night's bottle I stretched with about a 1/2 oz of cows milk). Some of it maybe her holding some back too, since we did let her lick them right after they were born. We will keep them separate for a few days, then hopefully after that she won't let them nurse.
