All kidding is done, link to pics!

I introduced our buck on September 11th so 145 days would be February 3rd. I am so excited but so new to this. I have been reading all of your kidding threads and just can't wait.

Here is the buck when I first got him in September; his name is Ballardcreek Kalico Kid

Here is Lil Critters Farm Maya

Here is North Creek Hope

Here is Jill

I think Jill will kid first. They are all going to first time mommas. Looking at their udders and liags I think we have a some time but I am sure they will all kid in February.

Thanks for looking!

Your buckskin doe's udder does look like maybe late Feb...but the other one's rear says maybe March...

Of course, who knows!

I bet you get some flashy kids.

You have some lovely goats. I bet you get some very flashy kids! Good luck!

Thanks I started three years ago this coming summer with Jill and our wether Jack. They are unregistered but I fell in love with them and decided I wanted to get more. Maya was over a year when I picked her up, she is registered and I was lucky to get her for $50.
Then my friend went through a divorce last year and Hope is here for now although my friend has signed the transfer for me to register her in my name. I would like to buy her but she says I can just have her. That makes me feel bad and I plan on giving her something in payment for her. I added Kalico in September and so far I am loving him.

I don't know when the does are due because I just ran all the goats together until two weeks ago when I seperate the Kalico and Jack.

I am excited for babies.

I am the worst goat momma ever. I have been on bed rest due to problems in pregnancy for 10 days. Asking dh and dd how the goats look, told me that Maya had quit eating and so they move her to the kidding pen in the barn. Well four days later she has done nothing. I decided this morning I felt halfway decent and was going to go out and check on our animals. I started toward the barn where the chickens are and Maya was and I hear this weird noise. I listen and I was pretty sure what it was. It was 18 degrees last night and I was just heartsick. We have 6 inches of snow and I was so sure they were dead. I rush down the hill slipping and sliding and there was a baby on the ground. I got in the goat pen and it was alive and then there was another one and another one. I moved them into the kidding area where Maya was under the heat lamp and then got Hope moved with the placenta hanging out of her.

The babies are doing good and all have gotten momma's colostrum. Pics coming soon!

So cute, look at how little that one is. I can't let my kids see these pics of the smaller breeds, that will be all I hear about from them.
