My alpine doe, who I wasn't totally sure was pregnant, kidded a single doeling yesterday afternoon about 3pm. Lilly was as big as a house and bred to my Nigerian buck, so I was quite shocked she only had one kid.
The birth was text book and she's being a great mama. Baby was up and nursing right away.
The afterbirth seems very large and is still hanging this morning. How long is ok to let it hang? I've read up to 24 hours, but all my does have passed theirs within hours of birth.
Oh and Happy Easter Backyardherders!!
