Straw Hat Kikos

[Straw Hat Kikos]

Well I just finished the monthly update of the Kiko page. I knew my history of the breed was not completely correct but I did the best I could and it was not far off. After some searching and talking to people I got the real and true history of the Kiko breed. I did my best to shorten it to the most important information. If I didn't then it would be much bigger.

So it is updated. It is long. It is all true. Go check it out.

I'm off to go shoot Moses. Uh I mean give him a shot.

Couple things. One, Moses is doing much better. You can see his eye now. It is still cloudy but you are able to see it now. He is much more alert and seems to feel much better. Also, remember when he ripped part of his horn on the fence? And how it was cut right at the bottom of the horn, which would be the very top of his horn. Well now that cut into his horn is till visible but now it is an inch higher!! So since then his horns has grown an inch out of his head.

I also got the goats weights weights today. All their weights, ADG and some info to help make sense of the numbers are in my "feeding goats" page. I didn't put C1's weight in there but she weighs 22 pounds. That happened to be her 90 day weight too. 22 pounds for the little baby. She's growing real good. My Kiko page is also updated. I will do something with my other page soon. I read it and I'm thinking that I need to change the whole thing.

Sis looks like she's got quads in there! She is bulging at the sides, poor baby. How on earth is she going to go all the way to mid-Feb????
Alana is huge too! and she is due in March??? She will probably have triplets again. I hope
Sweetie pie Ari- LOVE THAT GIRL! she is huge too. Was she a triplet? Cuz she looks enormous.
My lil katie is baboom... I hope she is ok, she is much larger than Heidi was and she still has a ways to go.

They all look good though! I sure hope you end up with7-8 kids! all does... maybe a male as a percentage!

Wow! And inch? Thats a lot since it wasn't too long ago either.

Glad C1 (you NEED to give her a name) is doing good!

Wow, sounds like y'all got some fatty goats around your place! Lol

So glad Moses is getting better

Sounds like lots of kids on the way!!!! I've got another 5 weeks before the first lamb is due and already the girls are getting tired of me checking them out...

@Southern
Yeah, she is HUGE. Wide as a truck. Some pictures are due of them all I think. Maybe this weekend I'll get pictures up here.
I know!! They still have till Feb. It looks like they are ready to go now. lol
Arianna is getting huge. She gained 10 pounds I think it was last month. Both her and Sis are .400+ ADG.
Oh yeah. Katie is the biggest Nigerian I have ever seen. She's huge. Her sides are like Sis's. She looks like a pregnant Boer. Big and fat!!
I'm hoping I have at least one Kiko doe with triplets. I wouldn't be surprised if two of them did. They are all huge. I'm hoping that Sis and Alana each only have one buck. They can't be registered so one will go to the neighbor and one for a good get together dinner. Maybe cook him on a pig cooker!!

@CBL
Yep. It's crazy how fast they grow. His horns are really getting big and I can't wait to see them when he's a year and a half to two years. Yep C1 is growing good and she is such a good goat. She very adorable and quite smart. She hangs with her mom but most of the time she is off doing her own thing.

@bon
He seems much better. I may try and get a picture of his eye soon. It'll be hard to get though.
Oh yeah, hopefully 7-9 from them and hopefully 2 from Coco in five months.

No way Coco took! No way.
Sorry to break it to you straw... she is just a fat lil brat...she has always been fat with skinny lil legs. I still think you should breed her next heat!

She went open with Will so I bred her to Caleb the other day. We'll see if she took and if it is her with the issue or Will.

 

[Southern by choice]

"Will" could have just been too young
Caleb is one flippin fertile machine. So far c-1 isn't showing any issues with parasites so maybe either c-1 has mommas resistance or it didn't get passed down from Caleb. If all the offspring turn out good (good parasite resistance) then AAALLLLL the does and their offspring can be bred to Will! Woo Hoo!

I didn't know you'd bred her. I hope she settles.

Need some more Kikos? I saw an ad today in the Greensboro section of CL for some nice looking Kikos. 3 does and a buck. 2 does were 100% one was 98%. Ad even mentioned great parasite resistance. Thought of you and your Kikos immediately!
