2 kiddings in 33 hours=5 kids
Tuesday morning at 2:30 Bandit, my FF gave birth to these two. It was a text book kidding. Quick and very easy.

First was Lightning, a 9 lb buckling.

This evening, my senior doe began with the goo at 5pm. This was her at 6:20.

10 minutes later she presented Lucky, a 8 1/2 lb buckling. I named him lucky because I had to help deliver. he was presented head first, but no legs!!.

30 minutes later she had Thunder, a 7 1/2 lb buckling who looks just like his daddy.

Looks like you have them in the house for a while..When our kids are born and if they are having a problem and need to be brought into the house..only way for me to get any sleep is to wrap them up and they sleep with me in bed...Have I gone over the edge..(help)..???
