She is doing an excellent job as a FF. They were born and cleaned in less than an hour. And she is constantly getting them up to eat. I am really proud of her.

I feel like a grandma! MDGA asked me for a copy of Latte's dam's papers. I got the emailed this a.m. So, she should be good to ! I wish you had had a doeling! Congrats on a good mama and easy birth!

I prayed for a doeling, but from what I could see....There are little noogies down there. LOL They would scream, then momma would come up to shoo me away. So, I think they are bucklings. Only prob....Elf ears. But they can still be registered as Experimental F1, right?

YES, they CAN be registered. AND they ARE experimental F1s, elf ears or gopher. The only time elf ears on a boy are a "prob" is if you are trying to register them as "American or Purebred" which isn't even an option unless they are F3 or above. So, you are good!

Uh-oh. I think those babies have CBD. Chronic Blur Diease. It's difficult to cure, but thankfully I know how. You just send them to me, and I'll fix 'em up for you.

Pony sends lots of hugs and kisses. He is soooo affectionate! I told him about Lattes babies and I really do think he understood and was happy

Well, I think momma is enjoying the alone time away from the other does. LOL She is drinking about 3 gallons of water a day and she is eating double her normal amount. But, she did great and she is taking care of these babies, so I shall allow her to be piggie. Hoping to get them out and about tomorrow when I go out and give them a thorough clean in the pen and all. I cleaned out the mess, and put fresh straw yesterday morning. Now, They need it to be thoroughly cleaned. I am in no hurry to put them out of the pen right now. I have 7 more does prego that are having attitudes lately. Plus it is mighty cold outside right now.
