Loving the herd life
Remember Georgia? Well... She had twin boys! We thought she was getting bigger but thought it was bloat, I know, silly. But we really did b/c we would give her baking soda and her belly would go way down. Well, she kidded Sunday around noon. The crazy thing is WE MISSED IT. We just happened to get up late and didn't feed everyone early like usual and there they were, placenta still fresh, babies almost dry. We were totally shocked. .....I probably should have posted this in the feeding section, I was going to ask how you cant tell they're getting enough? Hubby thinks they're too thin. I think they look fine for just being born Sunday. I'll get pics to show y'all. But here's one from Sunday! They're super sweet and so cute!
Make sure mama is letting them nurse ok, and make sure she has milk. They will nurse off and on all day for a few seconds (literally) at a time. It is a rare dairy goat that can't raise twins unless she has a problem of some kind. If you do supplement them, and don't have goat milk get cow's milk from the store, just stay away from replacers. It can be hard to get them on a bottle if they are on mom, some will never do both.
