A Jesusfreaks tales of farm life with soon to be Six kids

[Goat Whisperer]

I would keep an eye on them. If they look chilled put a lamp out for them. You may want to set your alarm and check a few times trough the night. Generally the dam would cuddle against the kids and keep them warm.

I will say, our nubians are complete WIMPS! They have 0 cold tolerance.

I bottle raise my kids so they would have a heat source at that temp.

@goatwhisperer I brought them in
, they are still shivering. I held her and made her nurse them. the bucking still looks a bit skinny so I milked her some to see if he wanted more. but he refused the bottle so I guessing he full. I will keep an close eye on him, I will probably try some nutradrench at one to see if he will take it. The doeling is a bit more active. But we will see. It cracked me up where I found her. the old goat house(where they were born) is a converted box tailer, an I found her under the ramp, it looked like when she came out she slid down the ramp lol .

Well Thank God, he knows better then me lol (so glad he does) the little buckling finally got it. i am so thrilled he finally filled up his belly. He got to the teats before his sister and went hog wild and latch on right away and is peeing a pooping well so yay no more worrying about that. momma will be much happier after 10am when it warms up enough for them to join her. We suppose to get two warm night on saturday and Sunday then another cold front 30s again so I probably depending how they do I bring them in if needed. Their momma getting the hang of it I barely have to hold her now I just scratch her ears and necm while she nurse so yay. But she has so much milk still I going to milk her some and freeze it in case I need it later. So happy this time is turning out better. He is so cute i am tempted to keep him and all three doelings (an my husband thought chicken math was bad lol)

(WARNING COMPLAINING)Ok some days are rougher then others as stay at home mom. My youngest is terrified of the vaccum, he wants me to hold him and vaccum he 23 pounds of dense wiggling baby. This time I put him in his crib until I couldn't stand the crying. While this was happening my eldest was suppose to be doing some school (something she can do by herself). But she wasn't doing it. The other child had two accidents on the carpetthe carpet am trying to clean he also starts getting things out as I am trying to vaccum the living room after I had everything picked up. He also decides he hungry and wants only fruit snacks which he throws a fit because I told him no(he already had one) I am about to have to start Makin dinner my youngest is breastfeeding for nap time and the middle just fell asleep and probably means a long night for me oh and dh doesn't know when he goin to be home yesterday he didn't get home till nine from work.ok I am thinking I am done complaining they are all healthy happy and a joy but sometimes I need a nap or just two hours with out destructo babies so I can clean the house lol.

There is nothing wrong with putting them in their cribs, closing the door, and walking away. It is only the start of what the terrible twos are all about. Get some rest.
