| 03/06/2010: Becca fussed around most of the night and by 8:30 this morning when I went to check her ligaments you could feel that there was a head there. Since there was what felt like a head right under her tail bone I decided to go in an check and found that, just as I'd suspected, the head and feet were right on top of each other. I pulled the front legs out straight and after much noise on Becca's part a cute little 7.1# spotted Nu-gerian (50/50 Nigerian Dwarf/Nubian) buckling was born. His 6.0# tri-colored brother quickly followed with little help on my part. Both boys were up an looking for their first meal in very short order. First Freshener Becca is not quite sure what to do with them, lick them or head butt them! Both are sold. |
| Ready for her first drink of colostorum from Momma. Belle gave us enough to give her little one a good start before she passed. |
| All dried off and ready to play. |
| 03/30/2010: Maggie kidded today making the current trend a sad one. She was HUGE a month ago, but then I noticed that her sides had hollowed out and suspected that something may have gone wrong. Oh, how I hate it when I am right. Today my fears were realized when she kidded with only one survivor, a 6.5# brown buckling. The other two kids were dead and decomposing and judging by their level of development I am guessing that they died about 3-4 weeks ago. :0( We are calling the survivor Tiny Tim and he is doing well, as is Maggie. Tim is pictured below at five days old. |
| 04/07/2010: Woo Hoo!!! FINALLY! A smooth kidding!!! Cooky kidded today in style with all kids in the diving position and no help needed from me. Good Job Cooky! She delivered triplets, two does weighing in at 6.1# and 7.5# and a 7.5# buck. As is typical for all of Cooky's kids they are adorable! Pictures were taken at 5 days old. Kids are pictured in order of appearance. |
