Title: We got twins!
Post by: Trixie on June 18, 2014, 06:55:06 am
Hi all, it happened spot on time, Dulcie had twins last night 1 male followed by a female!  The male is very pretty and is more like mum (an) and would definately have kept if it had been female,the female is more like dad (boer)but darker chocolate brown to black markings. All went well right way out and unaided,strong little things up on their feet within 5 or 10 minutes will post some pictures shortly if I can do it.
Once again thank you to you all for your advice.

Well done Dulcie - congratulations!  :thumbsup:

Pictures: have you checked the image files are small enough?  My phone takes pictures that are far too big in size and I always have to reduce them(see size restricion note that comes up when you click on the attachments button on the bottom of the message compose window). I use http://pixlr.com/editor/ (http://pixlr.com/editor/) to resize/edit images and find it very simple to use (it's online so no need to download anything).
