Poplar kidded twin bucklings this morning, but one was very malformed, deceased and I suspect had been for a day or two -- she hasnt cleaned yet so may be getting oxytocin tomorrow. The deceased kid looked like a goat, but had no eyes, the rib cage wasnt fused in the middle and the body cavity almost felt empty. Skin was bright red, but still had fur which wasnt yet slipping.

The other buckling though, is doing well, up and bouncing already and nursing like nobody's business.

Unfortunately, Rose slipped her kids 5 days early. Triplets to the first freshener, including a gorgeous red buckling, an incredibly beautiful broken buckskin doeling and a broken gold doeling, the last of whom we tried desperately to save to no avail.

I am heartbroken and devastated.
