Beautiful girls! I forgot I was waiting on pictures anyway! Between trying to get our new doe back healthy and the kids it's been crazy. Thank you for sharing though. I bet you have a ton of pretty babies whenever you get to breeding them? I'm sure ypu've mentioned when you should have kids out of them but I have totally forgotten and don't feel like looking back to figure it out right now.

I hope they have some pretty babies. I'm sure they will. Heidi's due date is 8/28 and the others will be bred come rut season, more than likely.

Cool. I love Heidi's colors.

Thank you. She is very pretty. Don't mean to brag, but she looks better in person. She has some red/brown in her face and a little on her side.

I bet she does look better in person.Our new doe looks better in person too. And once she gets in better condition she will be absolutely gorgeous. Hopefully by that time we will have her not so shy too. I don't have to have her under your feet friendly but definately would like her to be not scared of us getting near her. She tends to be on one side of the lot while our boys are on the other side when they are out together. She needs some TLC, but we have a small enough herd that she can get that from us.

What kind is she? Do you have pictures of her on your journal?
There is a La Mancha doe here, Milly, and she is on your heels all the time. You can let her out of any fencing and she will just stay with you. She doesn't need a lead, either. Sometimes it's not fun because she loves to bolt out any gate now that she has been spoiled. LOL

She is a pygmy. She is a year old but small for her age. I have her story on my journal. I have an old picture of her that was taken by the previous owner in my journal as well. I have some recent pictures of her on my phone I just have to get them off of it and on here. I'll be trying to take some new pictures this weekend. I've got teenage chicks that I need to show off and of course I need to get a picture of the new chick that our broody hatched out Friday too, along with the goats. My DH has a decent picture of her on his phone I need to get too.

I'll go check it out. How old would a teenage chick be? lol Maybe 13-15 weeks?
I read somewhere that Pygmy's are actually a species of goat and not a breed. I only found it in one place and could not find anything else on it, so it may not be true. It is interesting though. First time I had ever heard it.

Yep, these teenage chicks are 12-13 weeks old. I've never heard of pygmies being a species of goat rather than a breed. I know that both pygmies and NDs are decended from the same species of goat though. People just bred for different traits and made the 2 different breeds.
