[Hens and Roos]

You're welcome!
Cookie had twin doelings on the first of April, and Basil & Latte are up next! Basil was due yesterday, and Latte's due on Friday! Maybe they'll kid the same day! That would be so cool.

that would keep you moving for sure!! Good luck!

Coco is our last doe to kid and day 145 is Thursday- same day as our youngest DS's birthday-he'll be 11 years old and is excited! We told him, if one of the goats kidded on his birthday, he could name a kid after himself...

We had some pre-birthday excitement here this afternoon, we were getting ready to move Maggie & kids and Obie & kid back to the main area and move Coco up to the kidding area. DH headed out to that area and when he stepped into the shelter, he's yelling to me "we have kids" Coco decided this afternoon was it and she wasn't waiting any longer...she had 1 kid mostly dry and was working on drying the 2nd kid- probably kidded 15 minutes before we got there and the 3rd came shortly there after!

Presenting in birth order:

1st- buckling- 3 lbs 10 oz

2nd- doeling- 3 lbs 3 oz

3rd- buckling- 3 lbs 14 oz....this is Aiden

all are doing well, nursing and Coco is doing very well taking care of them, considering her kid last year ended up being a bottle baby for the first 2 weeks.

Congratulations. They sure are lovely! Healthy trips and she's feeding them herself. Couldn't ask for more than that.

btw-Where does that put your kid total for the season?

 

[Hens and Roos]

We have a total of 10 new kids this season- 7 bucklings and 3 doelings

Maggie- quads
Obie-single
Melanie- twins
Coco- triplets

We now have 19 goats- just incase anyone is counting!!

We put all the does and kids back together in the pasture about a week ago- took a little head butting between a few of the does but they got it all settled. Maggie is still herd queen. The kids are all playing together and having fun bouncing off the tires and spools- its comical to watch them.

The kids all have names now
Maggie's kids- Cinnamon, Pepper, Gingi and Clove- 4 weeks now
Obie's kid- Pringles- 3 weeks now
Melanie's kids- Finn and Charlie- 2 weeks now
Coco's kids- Cheeto, Basil and Aiden- 2 weeks now
