After 5 or 6 years old, it seems fertility decreases quite a bit. They carry the litters fine, but they have trouble conceiving. Although two years ago, my 5 year old doe kindled just fine, but died when the babies were 2 weeks old. I was floored! We hand raised the babies (she only had 3) and they survived just fine. I kept one of the does from that litter and she's the sweetest girl.
The number in the litter seems individual to the doe. My doe that died always had 3 in her litters and her daughter that I kept had 3 in her first litter. My big HL doe had 6 in each of her litters.
I want to say that this doe is around 3 or 3.5 years old......I have only had her since end of may so she is going to have to earn her keep before I will retire her. I don't mind giving the ladies a good retirement, but they need to at least provide a few litters first lol. Then they can sit around and eat bon bons and watch desperate housedoes for their senior years.
I was afraid I would get stuck having to try to keep this baby alive when she started bleeding a day or two after birth. But once she passed that last dead kit, she has been fine ever since. From now on I am breeding two does at the same time in case one has issues.
Desperate Housedoes
3 years old is prime. I wouldn't consider that old at all. I missed the post where you mentioned she had postpartum troubles. I didn't try to catch up on posts while I was on vacation (I'm a slacker, I know.) I've never had something like that happen, so hopefully it was a one-off experience for you. How well did you trust the seller? They may have pawned off a less-than-desireable breeder on you.
If she were mine, I'd try at least once more and see what happened. Good idea to breed a buddy at the same time, just incase. She looks like a great mama, so that's a big plus.

Very easy guest! I loved having you visit!
Michelle is one of the the most amazing people - she's not shy at all, so no akwardness at all when you meet her. We did a lot of talking. She has some great stories. She brought me LOTS of chocolate when she came. She's a great cook and has a good singing voice. But do NOT let her drive anywhere, she has a lead foot.
