Thanks! I forgot to mention these girls were bred to a Pygmy so they are expecting Kinders!

Also, they are all due the same day, 12/16 I never thought they would all settle on their first heat on the season.

You have some beautiful Does there. I wish you great luck on having babies. You will have your hands full soon. I was looking at the photos of each goat and Flower oh my goodness she is big. I about believe she will have quads again or more. There is a buck in that tummy of her's. alone with does too.

On Clover to will have quads. I can't tell from that picture of what boy or girl but I almost would say a buckling in there and doe.

DC may have twins but I could be wrong on that one because I can't see her to good. And the other one named Padme may have you a nice doeling.

Good Luck oh I was just having fun guessing also. So don't take my word on what I said I was just having fun guessing of what they may have.

Good Day and Good Luck.

Can you believe they are still hanging in there? I took those pics a week ago!

They ate well this morning, tails clean, no udder changes. They have their chins up and are making good eye contact

I have my CMPK gel and Propylene Glycol ready just in case (along with everything else)

I’ll let you know how everything goes and post baby pics too!

These pics are kind of random because, as you know, baby goats are hard to keep off of you when you're trying to get pictures. They are all strong, healthy good eaters. AND all but two are sold and going to new homes next week. Bring on the milk :baby04:
