I'm really late posting a waiting thread this year! I've been so consumed with a new job, trying to keep up with house work/cooking, and doing most of the Christmas shopping. We also have been working on a new barn, and thankfully it's ready enough for the girls to kid in.
Aspen and Jazzy are due the day after tomorrow. Aspen is a first timer, and this is Jazzy's second pregnancy. Jazzy had a huge, beautiful, red single doe kid last year but looks like she has a whole herd in there this year. She is so miserable, and can barely walk - heavy on her feet.
Aspen tested high for ketones a few weeks ago, and really didn't think she'd make it this far, but she did a complete turnaround and has been doing really well! No ketones, and she loves the drench we make for her - eats it out of the bowl lol.
Jazzy is getting some as well starting yesterday just to make sure she is eating enough and getting some calories/energy. I'd have to look but think she has gained around 40lbs. this pregnancy!
We are planning to induce them today so that they kid while I am off of work in case there are any issues.
Willow is due 12/31, she just turned 2 and is also a first timer. I'd suspect 1-2 kids. She looks like she could be hiding 2 though, and acts miserable enough for 2, otherwise she'll get an ear full from me about being a drama queen lol
Misty is due 1/1, she is our eldest doe, getting ready to turn 6. Willow is her daughter. Misty has had a single the last 2 years, but kind of looking like she could have twins this year, we'll see.
I don't have pictures to share at the moment, just video, I haven't had a chance to see if any of my pics from the other day turned out.
Video from Christmas day when we got them out to exercise - normally they are out all day, but it was bitterly cold and snowing.
Aspen - smaller, wide traditional doe
Jazzy - paint doe with more red on her rear end (the one more unsteady/heavy on her feet)
Willow - younger paint doe with less red on her.
Misty - bigger solid red doe
