March Kidding--Anyone due and want to wait with me??

[SillyChicken]

thanks sillychicken the vet gave us ( bear with me I cant spell ) Selenium, for her legs and I had to keep tube feeding her, ( I tried a bottle first )cause she just wouldn't take the bottle. Last night I got a baby bottle with preemie nipple and she took it ate 5 oz. the next feeding she took 6 oz. and is staying at 6 but I figure as little as she is that's allot, and not having to tube feed is awesome.

I don't have a clue what that is that looks like it is wrapped around her??? DH says it's our ghost holding her up... lol

your right, I apologize, it was the Selenium that helped with the legs, vit b was to help the rumin. (I gave mine Bo Se as well). I still give my two bottle babies vit b, probiotics and added some buttermilk added to the vit D whole milk they're getting. Glad your baby is doing better!

no need to apologize, it's fine, I am milking her mother and giving her that, figure its best for her to have momma milk when ever I can. So far mom has been keeping up great. Baby got to go play for a little bit outside with me today.
the 2nd pic is her and her mom.
1st pic is her in front Anorald her 1/2 brother and her Auntie Hope.
this is angel and her house mate princess playing on the milking stand.

Here's the 5 kids my girl deliverd April 1st.
I think I may try to start milking the doe to get her milk production up and to feed to the bottle babies. They are lagging beind in size... esp the little black n white one.
(sorry for the size, didn't realize they were so huge).


Doeling #5 (bottle baby) blue eyes tricolor.

Doelings #2 and #4 (buckling #3 in background) How would you classify this color? tan? Cream?

Mom (Star) with her kids, Doeling #4, #2 and Buckling #4 (brown eyes)

Doeling #1, (bottle baby) brown eyes

I worry about this wee one... she is SOOOo tiny... the other 3 with mom are doing fantastic... The black one is a buckling and the two tan w/ blue eyes are doelings that I plan to keep... however.....that means I'll need a new buck!

all the pic's didn't come through but the 1st one did, I love the eyes, so cool. It still amazes me she had 5. What kind of buck will you be looking for? I don't know where you are located but I will be selling 2 of my bucklings when weaned. They are 75% Togg 25% Alpine one looks more Alpine and the other looks more Togg. The Alpine one has real light green eyes and with his face markings it makes him look awesome, like you could pick the ornery out of his eyes cause it's right there, you can see he is up to something... lol Mom and dad both are here and are papered.
