Wanda had two doelings! Born 2/20/2021. Daddy is the young Nigerian dwarf.

Thanks for letting me know. Being in Texas, all this snow is very unfamiliar to me. First time I had goats and this much snow.

Does anyone's goats eat snow for hydration? Will I need to daily dump warm water into their trough to melt the ice and snow?

My goats seem to be doing okay despite the weather.

Unusual freezing weather and snow here in north Texas. Bringing baby goats inside.

There's someone coming over to buy a couple of my babies. They'll be bottle fed.

It's going to be freezing for my little babies. I have 2 with pajamas on; I wish I had more pajamas for the tiny ones.

On the 2nd of February, I learned the hard way how important it is to separate related goats. Raina gave birth to a baby with crippled forelegs, who passed away on the 4th. I wanted to keep her son Kylem for breeding since he was so handsome, but he got to his mom. I will do my best in the...

Molly had just delivered triplets! Hopefully they'll all survive, if so it'll be a first for triplets born here. The 2 black ones are male, and the tricolor is female!

On Tuesday 1/19, Periwinkle, my oldest doe, just gave birth to 2 babies (plus one unfortunate stillborn.) Her daughter also gave birth, but the baby had problems and only lasted until just this night. :( Here are Periwinkle's babies. The darker one is a doeling, and the lighter one is a buckling:

I think some of my does may be pregnant. Udders are getting noticeably bigger. I can't wait for babies!

Haven't been on this forum in a while, so here are some updates. I keep a goat log, so here's a brief summary of the life of my goats since last February: 3/5: 1 buckling born to Nakera (Wanda's 2019 daughter) 3/9: Put Idima up for sale 3/11: Sold Buckley and Vita (Eshki's daughter) 3/25...

Yesterday was the second day in a row that I was met with new babies. Wanda, my Boer/Nubian mix, gave birth to 2 bucklings!

My Nubian goat Eshki just gave birth to a cute doeling. Here she is!

I had a total of 5 babies in January! I've been putting off posting about them. On January 6, Darla had 2 doelings; and on January 27, Raina had 3 kids: 2 bucklings and a doeling! I've never had any goat have 3 babies until now.

I have a small herd of 6 adult goats and 3 kids (not the human kind). Hope to do more expansions.

Sadly, on May 28th, one of the babies went missing. Her name was Kaitai and was offspring of my Nigerian dwarf doe Raina. :( It's possible a predator got her; not sure.

I forgot to post this when it happened, but my Nubian goat Eshki gave birth to a daughter, who I'm naming Ganna, on 4/28. Pictures were taken 4/29. Her sire is a Nigerian dwarf.

I had a 6 week old baby Nigerian dwarf goat that was sickly and then she went missing on Tuesday (5/28). I looked everywhere for her to no avail. I'm thinking a predator came into the fenced area and got her. It obviously would be a predator that only goes for the weakest individuals, since...

A new handsome buck for my herd. On 4/24 I traded Halo for him, so that there's no inbreeding. His name's Buckley.
