Last of the group, Hadassa Kidded today!

[Griffin's Ark]

Hadassa is a very small Nigerian and had a little trouble, but we were successful in helping her. Her baby was only 3 lbs. and that was full term. And he is the best looking one yet!

Editied to say that Hadassa is 2 years old and this is her first kid (we were told she was sterile).

I have after birth duty and Mom rejected the kid. Tina is working on giving him colostrum....

Wooooo Hooooo Mom is feeding him. I think we are in the clear! Not completely though I am worried she might be starting to prolapse. It is not bad enough to call the vet yet, but I guess that we are going to be on alert most of the night. I took a picture of Hadassa and Blue (Little Boy Blue) in a 36" kennel to show everyone how small she is.

And yes of course they are spending the night in the house with us.

When a cow prolapses, after she is washed up and put back together, a stitch is put in her folds to keep her from prolapsing again. Is this something you can do with a goat to keep her from prolapsing?

He's so cute, glad mom's taking to him!

So what size are your kids generally? Just currious, I'm taking it 3lbs is small? 2-3lbs is about average for my nigis, although I've so far never had a single. My last (only) single pygmy was 3.3lbs.
