Three of the four are first timers. Excited to see what they produce!

Mema - coming 4 yr old who has produced some great kids the last 2 years. AABG Maestro daughter bred to George (Goofy son). I think she has twins.

Nosey - coming 2 yr old. RRD Pick A Number daughter bred to George, my Goofy son. She's huge! Can't really tell because her belly has dropped, but possibly triplets.

Not yet. I'm thinking tomorrow. She's drawing in and starting to get that "what the heck is going on" look. Hahaha! You know how confused some of the first timers get. :)

How cute they all are, and congrats on all the does! Any idea on their birth weights?
The single was 12# at birth and is 15 at 3 days! The rest averaged around 7-8# with the exception of the runt triplet. He's only about 2.5 pounds! He's healthy though and very cute.

So the little runt of the triplets born yesterday, the Buck, was in the middle of the pen this morning. Away from the heater house and freezing! He was barely breathing and his heartbeat was faint. Got him in the house and in a warm bath. Once his mouth started to warm, I wrapped him in a towel and put a warm blow drier in him.

When his heartbeat was strong and breathing was somewhat normal, I tubed him with an ounce of quick start (contains all essential vit, including b12, electrolytes, etc. After half an hour, he started making noises and moving around a bit. I then tubed 1 oz of moms colostrum.

About 5 min after, he had a seizure. Now he's kind of chewing on his saliva, making noise and shivering. Kind of acts like he's trying to get up.

Anyone know of anything else I should be doing? He's now on a hearing pad wrapped in a towel.
