Yay Rosie!

Left for church and checked right before we left. Nothing!

But sure enough when we got home a couple hours later, 3 little bundles on the ground!

2 doelings, 1 LITTLE buckling. He is so tiny! But he has suck reflex, is getting up, even though his back legs don't really hold him up well.

I think she is accepting them all, so I am watching to make sure they all get colostrum and then we will see if they all get to eat on a regular schedule.

Our total for the year (and we are done!) is 6 does, 3 bucks. Not too bad!

And Rosie was a FF, so triplets is pretty good.

And now the pictures so that you all know it REALLY happened.

Wonderful!!! They are darling babies...you can really tell how much smaller the buckling is. I like the white doeling with the gray stripe

Very cute.. And it is real now! yippee!

I'd bet a 1/4 to 1/2 cc injection of BO-SE would help that little buckling take off! Good job, Rosie!

Well.......

Tiny Tim, as DH named him, didn't make it through the night. We went out several times, held mom to make sure he ate colostrum and was laying with the other babies to keep warm. Not quiet enough.
RIP Tiny Tim.

I am so sorry you lost little Tiny Tim. Those little doelings are adorable though. Maybe it just wasn't meant to be for the little guy.
