I think of them as a cross between a rabbit as far as birthing and a cornish cross chicken as far as growing, of the goat world, most people never heard of them.

Kinders were originally a cross between Nubian and Pygmy, then through selective breeding bred true to the Kinder.

"Kinder does weigh about 110–125 pounds, and bucks a little more - 135–150 pounds. The maximum height at the withers of a Kinder is 26 inches for does and 28 inches for bucks,and the minimum is 20 inches.
Unlike many breeds, Kinder goats are aseasonal breeders, meaning they can be bred throughout the year; this trait is inherited from their pygmy ancestors (are easier to milk than pygmy).Also, they frequently have multiple births (triplets, quadruplets, and even quintuplets are common in Kinders. There have been 7 reported births of sextuplets).
Kinder milk has a high butterfat content, sometimes having higher than 7 percent butterfat; it also has higher amounts of milk solids, yielding larger amounts of cheese.
A gallon of milk from one of the larger breeds of goat, or from a cow, will usually yield around a pound to a pound and a half of cheese, but a gallon of Kinder milk will yield about twice that.
Generally speaking, you can expect to get 3-4 pounds (6-8 cups) of milk per day from a first freshener being milked twice daily.
Adult does should level off at anywhere form 4-8 pounds per day, or 8-16 cups of milk.
In spite of their smaller size, Kinders are generally more muscular than a full-size dairy goat, often yielding dressing percentages over 60%, reaching 70% of their full weight before they reach a year, They are very efficient in their feed conversion rate."

you have a little time but need to get it down, and temp should be 99.5 to 100, try moving it up a smidge

X2

I left the baby sock in there - but added an open cup of rice, too.

The temp is now reading 99.6, so i'll be watching it closely, to try to keep it there for the next few hours.

If I can't get the humidity to 35%, what can I do to try to salvage this batch if the humidity is higher?


Edited to add : since adding the second rice cup, it's dropped down to 60%!!! So crossing fingers it will keep decreasing andI can find the right balance. lol

Will when I get a chance going help a friend's dad's aunt clean her house after it flooded.probably will be all day

Good for you. We all have to pull together dealing with climate change.

I just got off the phone with a friend in CA with fires all around him.
Wish we could pipe some of your water to them.
