I found Emma with amber goo around 1:00 and got her in the barn. Talk about good timing. Whew! I stayed with her because she immediately started pawing. The first kid became stuck, all I had were two feet and a nose. I grabbed and pulled with her contraction and got the first little one out. The other one came about 5 minutes later and in only two pushes with no assistance. We have Willow - the white agouti - who is a doeling and Virtue - the grey agouti - who is a buckling!
So cute and already finding the milk before mom even has a chance to clean up! Babies sure know what food is good for them and how to find it! (as a breastfeeding teacher, these pics really are wonderful to me!)
WOW there must be something in the water !! you have another set of beautiful babies. Way to go mama Emma! Julie
Quote:NO KIDDING! It was a real accident - God put me there I guess since Emma needed help delivering. I was sitting on one of the stumps observing because I had just turned Sugar and her twins out for the first time - had to make sure everyone played nice. I noticed Emma's udder looked different...and upon closer examination saw the goo. Whew! Arlee - the little doeling was on Emma's teat as she was trying to birth her twin! LOL I just wonder if their teats hurt as badly as OURS do in that first week! I'm only on kid watch for one more doe this fall - Two Spot - who is a first freshener. I worry about the first timers! Argh!
