We just had triplets!
We just had triplets! And two more have bagged and one of those has discharge. It's true they wait for bad weather!

I had to bring the weak little boy in the house. He just got too chilled. She is concentrating more time with the girls. He is dry now and warming up. Hubby is adding second heatlamp to the barn so hopefully no crowding or GASP laying on a baby will happen

Baby warmed up and yelling for mom. So we brought it back out and put up two heat lamps in the goat barn. Hubby gonna try to get the little one to nurse. He only let two other does in the heated barn tonight since they are close too. The rest have been banished to the unheated large metal hutch. I really hope they will be okay. Better charge the flash light batteries now. Gonna be a long night I am sure. Now I don't know what to do after all that running about. Drink a Dr. Pepper or a glass of wine.

Just take a blanket and make a nest for YOU, too.

Baby Boy back inside. Not sure he is gonna make it. Doesn't have the energy to even nurse. Gonna warm back up again and try to bottle feed it some warmed colostrum
