So far so good on the boys at least. Every time I check on them, bellys are rounded. They've got nice fats on their bones. They have clearly been growing so I have only weighed twice. Little girl I have weighed a bit more often. She's steadily gaining but does not have nice cushion to her. Her...

She is NOT a dairy goat and can barely produce for 2 babies, let alone 3, so she's not even a good breeder goat. These boys may need to be pulled and put on bottle if her production doesn't increase. In farm terms, she's a completely useless doe. Her genetic line should not continue. Responsible...

Looks like I may have found a home for the trio, sending them off to a small all wether herd. Sounds good to me, hoping it works out.

Why cull? Because she's actually 100% incapable of being a dairy goat. Conditions didn't improve from last freshening, my personal feelings on kid rejection aside. Something went awry with her genetics, because she actually has some very sought after lines. My best doe is even related to her. I...

Little Mittens is doing just fne in the house. Doesn't acclimate if bought out to barn though, nevermind interact with the dam. My doe is a very gentle goat, is nice to all the goats even new ones. She will lick Mittens a few times but then emphatically licks and talks to her boys while leaving...

Mittens

Baby is alive and was warmer than she was, but clearly did not eat at all. Mom doesn't want her. Got Mittens in the house and some milk. Heat pad on. She's a little wheezy and totally dopey, hoping getting mill in will fix that

Cannot maintain temperature and has 0 interest in nursing. At first she couldn't walk. Mom had cleaned them all up good and I made sure she was still somewhat interested in her when I closed up for the night. I'm about to go out and check on them. Yesterday we brought the poorly girl in and got...

I've got 3 kids. One isn't doing so well. I've already tried a few interventions but something seems off with it. Treading line of nature vs nurture. I am sure it has no relation to her seed snack. She does have some funky smelling burps though.

I offered fresh baking soda, she's not taking it. And now, we're in labor.

Very pregnant Nigerian made a grand escape. She gobbled a bunch of Chaffhaye and approximately 3 cups (maybe as much as 5, but I'm leaning toward 3) of wild bird seed mixed with BOSS (maybe 15% BOSS) I'm going to examine the bag and try to determine how much Chaffhaye was eaten. She is only...
