WHOO HOO!!!! IT IS TIME!!! My first doe is due to kid in 4 days!! I absolutely can’t wait! This is the first year that all my kids will be half myotonic instead of Boer. My hope my new buck Stumble will pull through for me.
First off, Poppy is the first one due. However, she is mostly ND and she has a tendency to go a little earlier then normal. Last year she had triplets. She was the first doe I ever had and she is my precious baby. I get worried about her sometimes when she is about to kid, but she has always done great and is a great mama.
*actually I just separated her into a kidding stall because she wouldn’t eat this morning. She is wondering around with glazed eyes kinda screaming and looking for her unborn kids. I hope for kids pretty quick!!! Whoop!
Otherwise I have 3 other does.
Annabelle is due in a week. She is a white Boer. This will be her second kidding. Dottie is also a Boer and has an unknown due date, and same for Storm, my only Spanish doe.
I will post pics of them later after I deal with Poppy. Wish her luck, and lots of doelings for everyone!!
All dried off and cute now! The girl looks like she is dirty but she is actually just a really neat color. Kind of brown and tan. I am sooo excited to watch all these kids grow! I wonder if they’ll faint?… lol.
We got more kids incoming!! From Dottie my Boer. She is the worst one. She always takes soooo long in labor and is very fidgety, getting up and down all the time instead of just getting down to business. There is no telling how long it will be. But she is in labor at the moment.
Twin bucklings! My dad is already threatening to eat them lol! They are very eager to nurse. So far I have had nothing but good kidding from my buck Stumble! Kids are perfect size!
