She's still up and alert, still eating fine. It's definitely runny, looks like liquefied goat poo, so no color change from normal. I haven'r smelled it close, but I have not noticed a strong odor (and we were in the barn with the other doe kidding for several hours last night, so I think I...

Mama goat kidded yesterday, started with loose poops this morning. I know for sure she ate her placenta. Let her be? Give her something to firm it up? Advice?

I've had one day old do the same :) I wouldn't worry about it.

Oh Jodie, how awful! I am so sorry about the doeling, but good job with the quick thinking and getting the rest moved when you did. What a long night! Thoughts/prayers for energy and refreshment as you face the next few days of cleanup and figuring out what next.

Oh my! Thoughts and prayers to the mare, and you all working on her. How stressful for everyone! I really hope she pulls through.

Fixed!

Birdie had a single buck, he is 4.1 lbs! Very glad we were there, as even with both dh and I working on her, I wasn't sure we could get him out. Everyone ended up okay, and he is quite perky already. Pictures later

Dutch had twin bucks yesterday (very colorful, healthy, nearly missed that birth too), and Birdie has no ligs and is in labor today. She is on 30 minute check ins, to try and get a little more warning today. Good grief these three are being sneaky! Dutch also managed to nearly have them...

Thanks! And Dutch's ligs are gone today, so more on the way it looks like.

Nature is so neat! They are really beautiful, and good job to mama!

I am so sorry, that is really sad!

It sounds like you part of a very neat school! All schools should have classes like that!

We had goat at a conference I recently went to, and it was really really good! Enjoy your feast!

As of last night, Dutch has no ligs, so she should be going today sometime. Now I have to decide if I can my assistant in now, or wait until later this morning...On the one hand, I feel bad if I am wrong and it takes forever, and she didn't need to be here early afterall...On the otherhand...
