my gosh someone elses doe just kidded
Someone bought an open doe last June as well as two bucklings for their table. This Nubian girl is now 22 months old.
They brought her over to be bred last week , but thought she could already been. I didn't think she was! They were have to picked her up a few days ago. She looked pretty good, shiny coat healthy etc.
Today she was hanging off by herself...I had no idea she was about to kid she was not big at all so I wasn't looking for it. Well awhile ago she is off by herself crying, went down there and two dead kids. They appear fully formed, and weigh a total of 10 lbs. She was taking care of the afterbirth and eating hay real good. I gave her some grain now what? I've never had what Im assuming is stillbirth before.
The owners said they would come get her tonite.... should she travel 5 minutes away? Can I do anything for this kidless mother?
Any suggestions very much appreciated.
edited to add; after the end of July she was their only goat
