I don't have goats at all, but you could maybe keep track of their growth by weighing them? Or just leave them with her, but bottle feed them as well. That way they'd get the benefits of being with mama, but wouldn't starve idunno

Oh, gee, gotta see how this goes.

Breathes there a woman with soul so dead who never once looked up and said,
"Gee, what can I do for Joe Bryant today."

The best laid plans of mice and men go oft' awry.

I totally agree with this...I would definitely be helping mama out with the feedings...you don't want her wearing out!! 

Absolutely adorable!

How SWEET!!  I love them!!!  I think our neighbor, who has the Barbido sheep has one mama who had triplets and they are the sweetest things!!  Good luck with the little one that is a little weaker!!!  Hopefully mama will have enough milk to fill those teats for four hungary babies!!!

All I want is for someone to put their arms around me, kiss my forehead and tell me everything is going to be alright.

Thanks Kate for all of your helpful advise last time and this time.  I really have no idea what I'm doing so your experience and wisdom and helpful suggestions are always appreciated.  You're always so prompt to answer my PMs.  I feel like I have a sponsor out there in internet world somewhere.
