Our new kid :0)
« on: March 20, 2012, 08:02:50 pm »



KushtiBok Sixpence arrived today at 5pm. Fairly easy delivery, needed a little hand to come out as he's quite a big boy.  He's a keeper (castrated pet for my daughter)

Mum is feeding him beautifully. She's a devoted mum and today's life changing experience has been incredible for the whole family who witnessed his birth  ;D

 ;D  It was fine. Really enjoyed it to be honest! Puffin didn't make a sound! she laboured almost in silence with just the occasional bleat - was quite surprised.
Her whole labour was so straight forward from start to finish - just been out and we have afterbirth so stage 3 finished too (phew)

I think Hubby was quite moved by it all. He'd nipped out to Tesco leaving me with a labouring goat and 4 small children (g*t) so when I heard the car in the drive, I shouted "Quick, nose and 2 feet" and he dropped the shopping everywhere, ran up and managed to film it!
Not sure about twins next year though  ;)  next lot would definitely have to be sold or we'd be a sanctuary! This is different, we promised milli a kid.

Told you kid(s) were on the way within 24hours! Glad it all went ok, I know it would have been nicer if it had been a female....

I have just come back from feeding my lot, they look a bit frightening today, just come back from disbudding and billy's got a ring on... but feeding well from the bottle already....

Congratulations to all  :thumbsup:
He looks a chunky chap, built for cart pulling  ;D
It's no surprise you ended up deciding to keep him, so how is hubby taking all this?, sounds like he's softening if
 he's prepared to film it  :)
