April 28-May 5

April 28
I drove back home after my last exams and went straight to the goat pen to see the new babies! As I was checking everyone Yearling started pushing, and she gave us a doeling and a buckling!(Cassie)

Then as soon as Yearling finished, Peaches laid down and had two bucklings and a doeling! What a great momma she is :). We are supplementing the doeling as Peaches doesn't seem to have quite enough milk for all three babies. (Kadeja)

April 30/May 1st
11:40 P.M. T found a mom cleaning off a doeling and started hunting around the pen for more; she found another doeling (tiny little thing) alone by the feeder. Upon returing to the "Mom" Terryl realised that this 'Mom' had not actually had any babies yet! T and Mil searched the pen and found that Cat and Black Goat had both given birth. Cat was given the large one, Black Goat the small one as she is part pygmy. (Alex and Kiwi)

By the time I got to the farm the new moms were already penned up with their babies, however Black Goat did not want anything to do with her baby. We took Kiwi, covered her in Cat's placenta and put her with Cat and Alex, hoping that Cat might adopt her.
While all of this was happening the "Mom" from before (Pepto) went into labor; she gave us triplets! One buckling and two doelings. The second doeling (last baby) was in backwards and needed to be pulled a bit. (Shirna and Sophie). This all ended around 2:15a.m. -Sadly Sophie died due to a twisted bowel-

May 1 continued
Around 10 a.m. after feeding Kadeja, and Kiwi (Cat also rejected her) T and I found Polly with a buckling. We like to say that we have trained our goats to have their babies on command because only 10 minutes before Polly had her baby, I said "Polly's bag is distracting!" and T replied sarcastically "She isn't anywhere near ready yet!". We waited about 10 minutes after the buckling was born and then decided to check for a second baby; T reached in and pulled out a doeling, who was sadly dead on arrival (we were unable to revive her). As soon as we were certain the doeling was dead, I ran over and grabbed Kiwi and T and I covered her in placenta/fluids. Happily, Polly adopted Kiwi as her own :)

May 2
Paz had triplets; one buckling and two doelings! All the babies are incredibly healthy, and Paz has more than enough milk to go around :). (Chica and Sanchesca)

May 3
Swan had a single doeling. Swan is Paz's daughter, and we were expecting more from her, but one healthy doeling is better than none :) (Billie)

Cal 2 had twins, buckling and doeling. The buckling looks like he has a lions mane I think. (Charlie)

May 4
Mishka had twin bucklings, they are both big and healthy.

Weeble had a single doeling, and it was a terrible birth. T had to pull incredibly hard. The doeling was coming out head first, so T had to push her in and grab her legs. Then she was coming legs first (which is fine), but her head was back so T had to push her back in once again and straighten everything out. (Annabelle) -Sadly annabelle died when she was a few days old, she had so many health problems so this was probably for the best-

Oreo had twin bucklings, but sadly one of them was not cleaned off quick enough so he suffocated.

May 5
Dawn had twins, a buckling and a doeling. The buckling looks just like her and is massive! (Dusk)
