From what I have read and been told fainting kids don't faint until at least a month old. We had one kid last year and he didn't start fainting till upwards 3 months and he is over a year now and still isn't as big a fainter as his mother. This year we got a boy and a girl kid from the same mother as last year. At a little over 2 weeks old the girl has fainted! I have seen her go down several times the boy hasn't fallen yet. I don't know how familiar yall are with fainters but can this early fainting harm my little girl? The kids are in a stress free enviroment and have free run in the pasture all day. It could be the Dam throws the fainting gene more to the girls than the boys. They are still as cute as can be, I wish they never grow lol.
