Liliana was due the 8th and I am headed down to check on her after posting this. Then we have a break until the next doe due the 23rd.
Here are some pictures;
The Kidding Pens. Nibbles is at the front and you can see her polled brown buckling curled in front of her. The pens are surrounded with tarps due to the below freezing temps we've had this entire time.
These first 9 are the bottle babies in the house. The CAE Prevention raised kids.
L-R Starlight's buck; May's doe; Toffee's doe (dark red); FooFoo's doe (head up) and Jacobea's doe (head down)
L-R Nibbles' girls. The one without the white spot is the first born and polled; Y75's doe; Jane's doe
Jane's doe. I bought Jane specifically to get spots and after three years I finally got them!

After getting about two and a half hours of sleep dad called to say there was just a head showing on Lili and it had been there awhile. Aparently the two boys couldn't decide who was going to come first and so both had literally tried to nose their way into position...with no front feet.
We got them both out and will be keeping a close eye on the first one. He nurses but there is some swelling and he isn't as steady on his feet.
So now we get a break!

Good Golly Miss Molly that is a lot of babies..I haven't had babies since 2003, I'm sincerely thinking of getting me some babies when my friends does start kidding in Feb. She has 38 does due and she always takes the babies and then milks the does and raises the babies on the lambar bucket's. She shows her does so thats how she has to raise the kids in order to travel all over to the shows with her does and junior doe's. I already have everything on hand for babies left over from past years..Yep thats what I gotta do. I'll get me acouple week old wether's, I love the little boys the best and they love back the best and I'll be a mommy again to babies. My older kids will flip out with babies running around. They will be scared to death of them first but they'll get over it. Yep babies are in my future.

Good gosh Roseanna! I only bred a couple does this fall! Last several of years I wore myself out. I needed to rest some older does and let 9 doelings grow out a bit more so I held them back. I may try for fall kids...maybe.

Thanks all!
It is sooo nice to be able to get 8 hours of straight sleep. I was sleeping twice a day. 2 hours at night and then 5 hours in the morning.
Our break is quickly coming to a close. we have a doe due the 23rd, then a doe due the 27th. Then things really get busy. There are about 9 due the 29th, then another 5 due the 3rd and 4th of February. Thank you bucks (Rudy-P, sancho, Kidd and Silverado) for breaking out when so many does were in heat. 
Jane's spotted doeling will not stay in either pen and is currently running loose in the house. She is actually under my feet as I type. Little Goober!
