You might want to line up extra milk, or a buyer for a bottle baby or two so you can leave her with just two if she has multiple kids. I know some people leave them all, but I think that is too hard on a doe in the long run. She may have the milk, but it will take lots out of her.

I have some frozen but I was using for soap...
I see your point, I should save it, although its not enough for very long anyways.

I have Jan 7, Feb 14th due dates at start so big dif in times there ughhh

It is great that she is helping me. She shows all over and does great at Nationals. I am supposed to practice, and watch and study any showmanship class I can. Just what I needed more to do.

Do you have two bags of colostrum ready? My vet gives me two types to feed back to back if I need it. I will this year just for my CAE positive doe since I have to pull her kids.

and at home it is a push to get the young does bred,

how do you choose your breeders?

I've never heard of this being a concern. Triplets and quads are rather common with nigerian dwarfs.
