Wait and watch
That pretty much sums it up... I have 4 does that will likely kid in the next 4 or 5 days. So everytime I go outside, and a couple of times in the night- I go around lifting tails to see how my girls are progressing. We had Fling in the cabin with us last night. She had some mucus but then it stopped, so I put her back outside with her friends this morning.
Pleasant is doing great after losing her kids. You'd never know that she just gave birth, except that she's giving plenty of milk... milk that was stilling testing positive for antibiotics last time I tested it. Bummer. Katie girl gave us a bouncing baby boy a few days after Pleasant kidded... Bacon is big and inquisitive and still inside with us. Then Farlight delivered triplets- two boys and a girl... all are white with LaMancha ears. We lost the second boy, but everyone else is doing great.
So now I'm waiting on Fling and Tuffy, Zoey and Licorice. It turns out that Pinky is bred to kid within the next month, so I'm keeping an eye on her too. And if the rest of my dates are correct, everyone else should kid in late April and early May. We're gonna have a ton of babies this year!
And I'm super glad we're having a spell of nice weather for this go around. That helps keep the stress level down for sure. I'll keep you posted as we get more kids on the ground. Cheers!
