Five more today!

Oh those boys are in trouble when they get home. I knew one was due with more unplanned kids, so again at 6 am this morning I am woken up by LGD barking and goat yelling in front of the house. Twin doelings
Then again in front of the house within 15 mins, probably because it is warm and sunny there is a doe that did not look pregnant and had no bag is giving birth. Triplets!! Two doelings and a buckling.
I put my knee in afterbirth, was covered in colostrum and then stepped in cat puke bare footed. No laying on the couch today But they are cuties. Seven doelings and 4 bucklings so far and one more that looks ready to pop.

The twin doelings:

Doelings from the triplets:

The triplet buckling:

Oh how cute. I can't wait til my doe drops hers. She is a FF so guess we be on pins or needles until she has them. You have some very nice babies there. Sounds like you had a rough time too by what you stepped in EWWWW....

Congrats on the babies.. Love them..

FF -First Freshener- First time mom. She is a confused girl who thinks the last week's bucklings her mom had are hers so she abandoned her kids for them. So the boys have two moms now
My other doe I did not want bred has a teat issue so since I already have the 2 bottle doelings what is 2 more

Yesterday started out better then the day before, at least this time I did not jog/run for 2 and a half miles looking like a hobo. I did look like one but at least I stayed home

I made a bunch of goat coats and hopefully the 7 outside are nice and warm. The four inside are of course hungry again. The goats outside know I am awake, I am just not moving yet lol. They are yelling for me to come out and feed them!! Such a cruel owner, starving my poor animals. They are wasting away from hunger!
