So we are now at a total of 7 goat kids. We have 3 does and 4 bucks. The bad news is that we lost Glory, the nubian last weekend. She kidded the first kid okay. Then she had some problems with the second. I managed to help her get that one out. Then she struggled for several hours. Finally I gave up and went in to take a shower. When we checked on her next, she’d delivered a stillborn doe and had just delivered a living doe. That was it, but she strained for the next day. She had either a dead or stuck kid. Jeffrey tried checking but couldn’t feel anything. She finally died that night.
So now we are bottle feeding her three kids. It’s hard to take pictures of them as they are moving so fast. But here are the latest pictures. First, Maddie’s kids:
Next, Scamp’s kids:
These are the two doe kids from Glory:
This is another picture of the first little doe born:
