Pictures at last of Goose's triplets. I had to move them to the sunshine goat area (heat lamp too) because I had a big surprise when I went outside this morning. I noticed Truffles looked thin and saw a kid standing in the feeding area! Super cute, standing, but cold, buckling. I rushed him into the house got him warmed up, and brought him back to see Mom. Oh my gosh, there was another kid in one of the shelters! Grabbed her, warmed her up, and outside to Mom once again. Mom is not paying any attention to them, but they must have nursed because they were up and about. The only thing I can think is that my LDG got them too clean and Mom isn't recognizing them. I milked out colostrum, gave it to them, put them in a small stall together, and will watch closely. She did let them nurse when she was on the milk stand. Not really wanting a couple bottle babies, but will do it if necessary.
Goose's triplet bucklings....












These are Truffles kids. The buckling is on the left. :)
