Vermillion Oaks Kidding Thread - Twins!! Pics pg. 4

[vermillionoaks]

So we are expecting our first babies in a few weeks. We hand bred her on Sept. 6th and then again on Sept. 26th. So after driving myself crazy with a few weeks of running back and forth to the goat house we've pretty much decided she didn't take the first time. (Today would have been day 154 and I'm still feeling pencils for ligaments).

So we are looking at February 18th as a due date (that's day 145 since we have Nigerians)

I figured I was on here every day looking at all the baby pictures I just as well introduce myself and let yall join in the waiting game!

I love kidding threads.

From PA. Glad you found us, you will love it here. Good luck on the babies, and don't forget we LOVE pictures, babies and grown up goats all the same.

I'm working on the picture part... Should have had that all set up before I posted :/ My hubby just got a new computer this weekend so it may take a little while to transfer all the pictures but I'll try to get them soon!

You have to have 10 posts on here to post pics, so go and say hey to a bunch of folks and then you will be able to post. You can upload directly to this forum by using the upload button at the top of your screen, choose the pic you want, and hit submit. Real easy.

I'm guessing you meant February 18th as a due date here

LOL. Yes I meant February! Does that count for Doe Code? I've been getting up multiple times a night checking on her the last few days. I'm exausted!

So here goes my attempt at pictures:

This is Licorice:

Another picture of her with Norah:

Those are both before she was bred so here are a couple udder shots:

Feb. 2nd:

We had bought a nice wireless camera system (it had an intercom built in ) BUT it didn't work. Seems stucco is considered metal when it comes to wireless systems - they use a metal mesh to hold the stucco on

So I haven't figured out a new monitoring system.... except regular visits to the goat house!

What a cute little udder!

Beautiful goats. That pic of Licorice is priceless. You should submit that to the Pic of the week thread.

Thanks! She is very special. She was one of our first goats. We brought her home with her brother (a wether) Within a week we were getting a crash course in goat care. We had cut down all the azaleas around their house (because we read they were poisonous) but forgot we had piled them in our burn pile. We were playing in the yard and they were playing by the brush pile and apparently ate some of the dried leaves! They got extremely sick! So we were taught by the vet how to give an "IV" straight into their rumen for fluids and how to give shots. :/ Thankfully they both made it and because of that experience we are very close.

Here is a pic of the buck Licorice is bred to Kratos:

Again, its a little old but you can get the idea.
