Wow
Good luck

thanks, we will have our hands full for sure. The 2 doelings are currently in the kitchen under a heat lamp, we had to bring them in and warm them up. They are the only ones we weighed so far: 1 pound 8 oz and 1 pound 6 oz- they are the smallest. My DS(10) is watching them like a hawk, hopefully I will get him in bed tonight.

Maggie is doing an awesome job so far- very watchful of the kids and calls/talks to them. She knows that we took 2 of them but isn't upset with us.

A huge congrats!!!! Six times over lol. I bet Maggie feels sooooooo much lighter now!

I know a breeder in GA that had a doe have six in one kidding... weird year, I have also seen an unusual amount of quints born this year too. Not just with the ND either.

Here is a picture we took of Maggie and her kids- just hours old. The kid by my DD's boot cover(white bag) and the one closet to the house are the 2 doelings.

WOW 6 kids...that is like having two does kid at once. How many of them are you going to bottle raise?

 

[Hens and Roos]

The 2 doelings will most likely be bottle raised and possibly 1 little buckling- depending on how things good. As of now the 4 bucklings are doing good and Maggie is too.

We were able to get some weights on all the kids this morning:

1st kid- boy #1 is 2 pounds 3 oz
2nd kid- boy #2 is 2 pounds 10 oz
3rd kid- girl #1 is 1 pound 8 oz
4th kid- boy #3 is 2 pounds 2 oz
5th kid-boy #4 is 3 pounds 5 oz
6th kid- girl #2 is 1 pound 6 oz
