You'd be surprised.
I have a small pygmy that twice had quads and quints once.
One of the times that she had quads, they were all white because she had somehow gotten bred by my Saanen buck. To this day, I don't know how it happened because I knew the buck had not gotten out - the only two options are that either she got into the buck pen and back out (climbing over cattle panels) or she backed up to the panels. Anyway, she was well into her pregnancy before I realized she was even bred and all I could do was to keep my fingers crossed that she had gotten bred by the pygmy buck and not the Saanen (I didn't know about lute back then). But she had four perfect and healthy pure white babies.
I decided after three breedings and thirteen babies, she had had enough and I never let her have babies again. It's been years (she's eleven or twelve now) and she's still stretched out looking. LOL
