After two weeks of looking like a beached whale she finally popped. Two boys and two girls. The boys are named Traveler and Icarus, the girls are Heifer and Gidget. Pics tomorrow.
Since y'all where so patient. Here they are. All together Traveler Heifer Icarus Gidget Icarus has some interesting ears. You can hardly make it out in this pic, but it almost looks like he has one Nubian ear and a Pygmy one. A good shot of Traveler's face. When she was born I swear she looked just like a calf with her markings. Tiny little Gidget.
Thats cute! Its kind of funny...chammy, chammy, chammy....black! Slipped that one in on ya. Lol. The ear reminds me of a buckling I had two seasons ago, some have a bit of a floppy ear thing but they stand up. This guy's was floppy for a couple of weeks:
Adorable! Quads are certainly a surprise aren't they? I about had heart failure with my first set born here! Watch their bellies to be sure they're getting enough from mama... of my 4 babies, 2 were huge compared to the other 2 and they definately pushed the littles away when mama fed them. The floppy ear will straighten, the little buckling of the quads here was as perfect as his sisters at birth but at 2 days, he looked like a puppy as his ears went floppy! By 2 weeks though they were straight again
I've been watching them for awhile and the appear to have a "schedule", that's the best way I can describe it. Two will drink, they'll walk away and then the other two will go. No pushing or shoving.
Your baby is sooo cute! The two times I've bred her, she had a cammie and a b&w. Two of them are starting to turn silver just like mamma. :clap:
Its amazing how they have their own "schedule" isnt it ? My hubs dog had ten pups and they have two groups who take turns feeding , its just amazing to watch them switch groups , lol. I think even the momma is surprised , lolol Life is just extraordinary isnt it ?
