I honestly don't believe animals (unless something goes wrong) have birthing pains.
Really? I think they do, but they've evolved to keep quiet when birthing to no attract predators. I know my goat hollers out when she's kidding. It has got to be painful.

I have one that slams her head into the side of the barn for a good three hours and then for the last half hour screams out in horror before pushing out a kid and looks at like holly cow, that was a lot of work. She doesn't look to painless to me. Has done it every tiem she has kidded, 4 times now. She apparantly missed the instructions passed down from other generations to not call attention to herself when in labor.

Couldn't see the video, but did see the pictures. They are so tiny and so bald when they are born. Can't wait to see them with hair and their eyes open. :)

All doing good. Except the peanut which looks like a skeleton. I'll give a better update when I get home and check on them.
