2013 Kids on HIll Kidding Aunt B is in the kidding pen, April 7th.

I have lots and lots of photos. Haley started the serious pushing at 4:30 and finished up around 6pm and Peaches started around 9pm an dis just finishing up. And I don't wont to tell my secret, but I think Pepper is in labor. Don't tell her I noticed.

Working on some pictures, in between barn checks and getting the kids warmed up and nursing. Haley's are being especially stubborn. Very healthy, but having a hard time finding the teat.

Peaches are drying off and a little too fresh yet to think about the teat.

Just remember to keep us updated please! Hopefully Haley's cough will leave once she pops . Its probably already been asked but do you have any type of monitoring system (barn cams, baby monitors sound or sounds & vid, etc) or is your kid watch completely old school? Either way except for the you get while waiting you gotta admit its kinda fun lol .

We are old school. We check the barn every 2 to 3 hours around the clock when they are due, but no one is showing signs and then when they start showing signs, we check the barn every half hour or so, Once we see serious pushing we sit in the barn, when ever possible. Normally, that would be me.

A sneak peak, while I go back out to the barn. Yawn, this is going to be a long night.

Haley at the beginning.

Oh, that is some serious concentrating, and is that a hoof I see?

Congrats on the babies! I had some stubborn ones too this year, but I was more stubborn cause I didn't want any bottle babies!

I am tooooo tired to care about photos. Going to sleep for 3 hours. Then back up.
Haley had twins a doe and a buck.
Peaches had twins a doe and a buck.
Pepper decided she needed to get into the action, Not due for 4 or 5 days, and she kidded twin bucks. they aren't all that big, but very healthy and got nursing easily.


The surprise of the night was Peaches. She has a bad side to her udder that is not producing a drop of milk. She is 3 years old and this is her 3rd time kidding. Nursed twins both other times with no problems. All we can figure is she got masitits when we dried her up last year. I always thought they would get sick when they had mastitis, but I don't recall any problems with her. We are going to have to bottle feed one of the two kids, but for tonight they are taking turns nursing on the good teat. Of course the bad teat can be a bit distracting to them. Always something.



Good night.
Photos tomorrow. I am missing church and my son and husband are singing, would have been nice to see pr hear. Missed a party this evening, husband went without me.
