Straw Hat Kikos

Here's some kid pictures I took. D and Cal have been with them at all times the last two days now. We only let them be together when I or someone was there but now dogs and goats are together. All is going well and dogs are doing great. It really helps they the moms are so protective though. They keep the dogs away from the kids real well and if the kids are not liking the dogs sniffing them then they trot to their moms who tell the dogs to go.

If anyone wants to see pictures of the Boer with the prolapsed rectum can just PM me. I don't think I'll post them here as it's rather nasty. She will be slaughtered tomorrow morning.

We also got a triple yolker the other day!

They're sooo cute! You know you just want to give them to me

That's awesome about the egg. What kind of chicken did it come from?

 

[Bridgemoof]

The goats look good and meaty already!

And wow on the egg. Never had a triple yolker before!

 

[Pearce Pastures]

Wow, I have never seen that before! Is this from the same hen that keeps giving those huge ones?

I'm so jealous, I've been hopeing for a triple all weekend.

Those are some really good pics. We can't seem to get Southern down to take pics for us. You whanta come down to the hills and take some?

The kids are cute. Wild as all get out though. I mean, I have never seen anything, not even baby goats, that were as wild and run and jump and fight and leap and climb as these guys. WILD, CRAZY little goats. And C1 loves to go from the ground and jump up onto mom. She's crazy. All are gaining well too. They will get 2 weeks weight on Tue. And yeah they do look meaty. lol They are all pretty thick, esp C2 aka Mo Clone. If I keep her I will register her as SHK Mo Clone I think. lol

I think the egg was from a Delaware again but not sure. That was the first triple toll eggs we've had here. We've had about 15,000 eggs laid and that's the first. Has tons of double yolkers though. And a fair amount of single yolkers. lol

Ya'll will get your triplets. Wait, didn't that HUGE black one have three? I think you said she did.

Sure, you pay for me to get there and I'm there. btw it would be "up there" because you are up from NC. For real though, would be neat to be there with that many going everyday!

EAT: the other day it rained and "Seattle Rained" all day. Those little Kikos were out in the lighter rain with their moms and playing around on the wood. When I saw them at night they were all muddy and wet from being out there. Of course they take after their moms and dad and take it in stride. No issues, no shivering, nothing. I love Kikos. Love 'em. They have never had a heat lamp or heat source other than hay and their moms and have been thru temps as low as 15F and under a week old. I love these goats.

[alsea1]

Loved the photos and I see they enjoyed the sun today too Yeah...know what you mean about loving your goats...feel the same way about our sheep. The babies are just so stinking cute with their antics and I can't imagine anyone watching kids or lambs play without a huge grin on their face!

Huge egg...and three yolks..wow! I've had a few double yolks now and then, but never three!

Yeah I love watching the baby goats romping around here, too. So funny! I'm partial to the alpines because they are prettier colors and smaller. So cute! But all the baby goats are cute. I wish we had a Kiko doe. Well, when all these boer does come into heat again I think they will be going with Kiko Joe! I can't wait to see what Joe produces.
