Oh well little girls might be able to fit in my pocket too.lol Are you going to sell them or keep them? Im still trying to decide if were going to keep jesses girl.
I dont know how well minis and goats mix I know my jersey and my buck share a fence line and boy are they hard on a fence they like to try to head butt each other. My mare either puts my cow in the barn or she turns her out....they keep me busy.

We plan to keep a couple new kids this year but will have to see what the other 2 doe's have. Of course when the babies come you want to keep them all! I just think any baby animal is so cute!

OH MY GOSH!! I am in love. My most favorite combo is Chamoisee with blue eyes and you got one and a doe at that. I am so envious right now I could just spit!!!!!!!!! I had a chammy buck with blue eyes,but sold him because someone else wanted him and he was a pain. She loves him and he is well behaved for her. Figures. I've only had 1 chammy blue eyed doe born on my property and I sold her to Jillis. She's the one who just had 2 little bucklings. I love her coloring and I think you are right that the "buckskin" one is probably not a buckskin. Have fun.

Oh they are sooooooooCUTE!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!
Also, I am a Survivor fan too...so I can relate. 2 weeks aga my recorder didn't record it and I'm so peeved. Then last week I was gone and just got back and haven't watched it yet so I feel WAY out of touch with what's going on.
Maybe you should name the babies after some of the Survivor contestants. lol

Minelson, I wondered where you were since you seem to be the one who asks 1st for pictures here most of the time. Not sure if we are keeping either of these 2 doe's yet, still 2 more to kid in the next couple weeks, but good idea about the names if we do keep them.
Crazygoatgal, the cinnamon color doeling has blue eyes too, but so does are buck. I would maybe call her a tri-color since she has white on her ears, black & cinnamon color. I don't know though Tri color to me always reminds me of what a calico cat should look like(kinda spotted splotches, sort of?). I have another doe with blue eyes due next week & she is bred to the same blue eyed buck also so I'm expecting more blue eyes from her too!

Backfourty-- If the little cinnamon girl has white ears and a white frosted muzzle, then that is known as frosted ears and muzzle. Not so much a 3rd color as a pattern or marking I think. She is awfully adorable and the blue eyes are so sweet. Some people think they are not as warm as brown eyes, but I love them.

Thanks crazygoatgal, we just love them all. I can sit down there in the pens & watch them play & play with them. There antics crack me up most of the time. I also like the blue eyes. Around here alot of people want the blue eyes.
