Talking Finally got pics of the new babies

I just figured out how to use my webcam. It's new, and I have never used one before, but here are pics of the new babies. They were born late Wednesday night.

This one was on the ground when my LGD started going crazy, and I went to check and found her.

This big boy was next. He had a leg back, and I had to help deliver. His name is Chevy (short for chevon). Yep, he's headed to freezer camp.

This little one was born not moving, not breathing, but with some vigorous rubbing, I was able to revive her. She's still not doing as well as the other two.

I have two more does due to deliver next week, however, one is doing a lot of stretching today, so I may be delivering again tonight.

Thanks for the photos. That's a fine set of triplets. I do hope the third one does better for you.

A fine looking trio. Is big brother & sister letting little sister get enough to eat from mom?

Thanks for the pics.

They are all being bottle fed as mom is one of my milkers, so I am able to make sure the little one gets enough. I have had to tube feed her a couple of times, but she nursed fairly well this evening.

They are all adorable, even Chevy! I'll keep my fingers crossed for the 3rd little doe.
Sounds like she'll be OK though with you to pull her through.
