Snowdrop gave birth to one of each sex at 7pm tonight. had to help get the billy out first as one of his front legs was bent back but once that was sorted all was well and both kids are up and feeding.
next up is Apple , she is due tomorrow  ::) 2 down 7 to go

The first twins are both very cute  :love: But I've a feeling a stray springer spaniel may have met mum before your Billy  :-J  :D

 love the White ones too. Their dad is definitely a Billy  :love:.

Edited as the new piccie popped in as I posted  ;D

Glad both went well! Are all the rest due soon, or are they a bit spread out? It's nice having them all together, but of course we have now gone from having 1 goat milking to 5 milking in a week, and it doesn't half increase the time needed out in the shed!

Well Apple who was due today is showing no signs at all so looks like another night of braving the storm checking on her.

Well lets hope she doesn't kid in the middle of the night... really not what you want in a howling gale. I am back to late night checks, as 1st kidder/goatling due on Wednesday...

Or, if she does, hope she does it quietly and easily and you don't wake up until its all over.
