Hopefully she has her kids without problems. Helps to have a vet you can contact if necessary. You should dip the navels and make sure the kidding area is clean to prevent joint ill. Also watch that she accepts the kid or kids, and that they nurse within the first hour. Occasionally a doe will reject them and try to push them away. Hopefully it's fairly warm where you are at currently.

Glad they are doing okay. I had a few that ended up with frostbitten ears because they pick the worse nights.
