Our first babies have arrived! 492 (Momma) had twin bucklings, and they are beautiful!
April 24
Rub-a-Dub had triplets! We had been worried about her because she had been pushing herself out, but she delivered all three babies safely and is doing well :). Two doelings and one buckling! (Betty and Wilma)
April 25
Chipmunk had a single buckling. Silly girl, you're suppose to have two babies!
April 26
Lightning had a single buckling; she was huge so this is quite a surprise for us. T checked for another baby inside of Lightning, but didn't feel anything.
April 27
Today we have some good news and some bad news. Good new: Cocoa had her babies, bad news: only one of the three bucklings survived. It appears that Cocoa didn't get the other two cleaned off fast enough so they suffocated.

Lightning was found pushing this afternoon, it appears that she did have another baby in her after all. T and MIL had to tag team pull the baby out, it was very rotten and fell apart as they were pulling (sorry if this is too graphic for some, but this is life on the farm). Lightning is now on antibiotics, the vet also prescribed some pain killers for her.
