kidding ?? **UPDATED! 2 MORE BABIES!!** **And 1 more!**

OK I have new mommy brain.. in other words NO memory!

Becca is down with Pepper a FF La Mancha....

she is pushing, but NOT much... she is NOT fully dilated... BUT baby is presenting and has a hoof partway through cervix, but again NOT fully dilated.

Dh just left for work... (we just had a bad storm come through)

I am in house with baby & 4 littles!

I have her giving calcium.... doe has had free choice alfalfa.... and is in same pen with Mocha who just kidded no problem

 

Re: kidding ?? (in the middle of!)

OK whatever changed! Thank you Lord!

14yos just ran me up a healthy doeling... though doing the sneeze/cough thing and not hollaring...

Looks to be good size the color of Sweetheart (Katie & LA)...

This dad is Pepper out of my Cinnamon... who is out of Gypsy and a Nubian buck.... Cinn is my BIG huge doe... good milker... sweetie pie...

OK #2 same breathing issue... dark male

OK all seems *ok*... guessing Becca freaked a bit since this one was not as *easy* as Mocha... plus 14yos was giving reports... he is our *town crier*... if there is bad news... he is your man!

I think they are ok...

placenta came out WITH #2 though seems to be Aaron's report... but Becca says bleeding is normal.

OK reported bags were very very strong... not good in goats right...

and both came out with tongues hanging out....

I'd guess both were around 7lbs...

Re: kidding ?? (in the middle of!)

I copper bolused older does last summer, but did not do the kids....

 

Re: kidding ?? (in the middle of!)

It was said earlier I think copper deficiency... I know I questioned it since in humans tougher bags are a *good thing*....

They did the tongue loll thing at first... but the girl drank over 1/3 of a 20oz bottle at her last feeding... so doing good.... both stand well.

I think they are fine & dandy! {{giggle}} Sire is Dandy.

Now getting nervous... Pepper's twin Thyme is due soon and I bred her to their sire... biting my nails here....

 

Re: kidding ?? (in the middle of!)

:lol

LA if you read this I have Thyme bred to Anson.... excited and terrified... :lol

Oh and as a FF Pepper's first milking was 1 1/2lbs right after birth... not bad...

 

Re: kidding ?? (in the middle of!)

It sure is hard stepping back and letting others handle this... especially the FF..

 

Re: kidding ?? **UPDATED! 2 MORE BABIES!!**

Pray they got chilled!! We missed the birth... never knew she was even close! Found them on the ground wet & shivering...

did a warm bath then blow dried... one done... second still in tub... the one in my lap her mouth is cool, but she is trying to nurse...

OH yes this was Thyme... twin to Pepper who kidded this AM!

Both black girls!

 

Re: kidding ?? **UPDATED! 2 MORE BABIES!!**

1 is doing well... solid black... standing and fussing...

the other black with white on forehead, muzzle, ears, and a bit on her side... is trying to sleep and not sucking... but did swallow...

blow dried both very very well...

 

Re: kidding ?? **UPDATED! 2 MORE BABIES!!**

Oh all 6 newer kids from this week are IN the house!

Tuesday's MM kids and Pepper's are in the baby goat area in the breakfast nook...

Thyme's will likely stay in the *new baby* tote tonight... in the dining rm...

 

Re: kidding ?? **UPDATED! 2 MORE BABIES!!**

But I wonder... Creme is still due... I think I better have her put in the birth pen tonight... just in case... and likely Praline though the dc tell me she is NOT bred :lala I do not want to hear that!!

 

Re: kidding ?? **UPDATED! 2 MORE BABIES!!**

both of this evenings are up & standing... the solid black even got OUT of the tote and we had to hunt her down!

 

Re: kidding ?? **UPDATED! 2 MORE BABIES!!**

AND... Creme kidded a single doeling!






While we were at the store...

But live & healthy!!!

White... which figures out of Creme...

5 kids out in 36hrs! 7 this week!
