For all you kidding thread addicts:

lol! Well, I'll apolize now for this whole barn camera addiction now I am the owner of Pelican Acres Nigerian Dwarf Goats & Cinnamon is mine I am thinking she has triplets in there or small chance of maybe some quads--hopefully it's not just 2 gigantic bucks We'll find out soon! I am very excited to meet Cinnamon's kids. They have the genetics to have brown or blue eyes & they could even have the moonspotted pattern which is something new I am tinkering with! Cinnamon has amazing genetics with many National champions backing up her pedigree with a lot of milk production also. The sire of these kids also has an outstanding pedigree with even more National champions in his background.
She does have some discharge today & her udder is filling up. I have all of my supplies ready & am ready for kids to arrive--could be anytime!
I have 10 other does due to kid in early February & then around 10 more to kid between March/April
Feel free to keep an eye on the camera--if it looks likes she's in labor & you don't see me out there, please call 12187573246. I like to be there for every kidding just in case anything goes wrong. I will try to keep you all up-dated & after she has the kids, I'll post some color photos on here for you to view Now let's all hope for an easy kidding & healthy bouncing kids

Hey there!

I was wondering if you were a BYH member! I have been checking on cinnamon all throughout the day (and yesterday too). I cannot wait for her to kid! How long will you keep the cam on the babies for? My fingers are crossed that everything goes well!

fron New Hampshire, Karen! I saw you checking(well, attempting.. didn't look like she liked that idea) her ligs earlier... how are they doing?

Also, can you see or feel her kids still moving? or have they become still? if none of them are moving, then she should kid within 24 hrs... if you still see or feel one or more of them moving, then you have more than 24hrs to go. (incase you didn't already know that indicator)

I'm going to keep the camera on the goats until all of my does are done kidding--so around the end of April/beginning of May probably. So everyone will be able to watch the babies grow & see more kiddings. It's always great having some extra eyes watching. When my husband gets home tomorrow, I'll try to have him help me move the camera lower so you can get a closer view & make the viewing a little darker & clearer. The camera is so touchy with the signal though so I don't want to touch it until I have him here to help me. Throughout the next few months though, the camera will be focused on different areas between kidding pens, the senior loafing area which is what you saw a few days ago and we also have the junior loafing area.
After Cinnamon kids, I'll hang a heat lamp which might mess up your viewing a little bit but I like those babies to get warm & dry so they can get some energy to find the colostrum from mom.

That is a darling goat you have in your profile She has not been thrilled with me checking her ligaments--it does seem to have loosened up though since this morning. My friend from Montana was watching the camera earlier & said she could see the babies moving in her stomach but I haven't really noticed. I don't think it will be tonight but I'm keeping an eye on her regardless. I have my t.v. hooked to the barn camera also with the sound up high so I can hear everything going on out there. She has noisily been chewing her "bubble gum" cud for quite some time. She is just so uncomfortable out there--I'm sure she can't wait for the kids to arrive also.

I have your cam as my wallpaper. Many of us are addicts...

We love our baby addiction.

I saw you on the webcam today patting Cinnamon. My gosh those mama's are all big and fat and round and PREGNANT!

Yes Sara, they all have their lovely thick winter coats on & have bellies full of babies. We have so many exciting breedings completed this year so I am very excited kidding season to get into full swing. We have just one teaser kidding for December then the long wait til early February.

My mom says that about an hour before you went to check her ligs this afternoon, she thought she saw kid movement as well.

I noticed while perusing your goats, that we have some share lineage back there... Our herdsire HighNote also has Gay-Mor's RA Kingwood & ARMCH Goodwood Trillium *D E

LOVE the look of Rev-a-lea Farm Tunbridge... he is a very handsome buck.

Thank you for making the doe camera available on your website, Karen! It would be such an awesome opportunity to be able to catch a live kidding!

Ah, and I just saw a mouse! Came in behind her and was watched by Cinnamon as it scurried out of the pen on the side where the camera is Poor girl looks very uncomfortable...
