I will be glad when Bluebell gives birth, she is very wet at the back end but just standing there eating hay 

[sokel]

Well we have triplets again off Bluebell . Not a straight forward birth , first one was a girl who came backwards out of the sack  with only 1 leg out so had to push it back in and then get the other leg forward. Got that one out and instantly a head appeared with no legs and then stopped  ! got those legs forward and got it out (a Boy) and instantly a third head and 1 leg came and stopped. Got that one sorted (another girl)  All 3 are now on their feet and mum is back to munching hay !
Remind me why we do this !

[Sbom]

Gosh that was quick! Eating hay at three and triplets by four!  well done Bluebell 

[sokel]

After another long night sadly Apple gave birth to a dead nanny kid, it was hugh almost twice the size of snowdrops kids who are 5 days old
At 3am i made the decision to try one of bluebells triplets on her who had only been born hours before.
Apple took to her instantly and the kid to her so at least both are happy

[Mammyshaz]

It sounds a busy 24 hours for you. Sorry to hear Apple lost hers. Sounds like she is happy to adopt, and gives the triplet a milk bank to itself 
Is that all your girls done now?

[sokel]

We have 1 more Togg due mid April then 2 x 100% Boers late April and early may then that's everyone
Apple loves her adoptive daughter like she was her own and the baby sees Apple as her mum.
Bluebell isn't at all bothered that she now only has 2 even though they can see eachother

[Lesley Silvester]

Sorry to hear about the dead kid but, as she was so large, it's a blessing you didn't lose Apple as well.  What a happy end to the story.

That's the most important thing, all of our girls are special and  the thought of loosing any of them is unbearable

[sokel]

The 2 sets of triplets, Apple at the side keeping an eye on her adoptive daughter
all of them are now in together with the mums. everyone runs to the right mums to feed  and all 8 kids sleep in a heap

[Penninehillbilly]

and all 8 kids sleep in a heap

Got to have a piccie of that! 
 
Sorry to read about her own baby, but it sound like its worked out OK.
what percentage are the ones in the background?
 

[Anke]

Well my oh so slim 1st kidder surprised me today with producing triplets... and all very quick too. Checked her at 11.15 and although she was uncomfortable, she kept chewing her cud, so I went back into the house to warm up, came back out 1.5 hours later (thinking that she will be ages as its her first time...) and well, there she was licking three... one girl and wo boys. Sadly one boy wasn't right, his back legs were bent in a strange shape and his cord had been ripped off (either by over-enthusiastic mum or during the birth) leaving a large hole in his belly... so he had to be swiftly PTS  . But the other two seem fine, and I have at least one girl so far!   Next one due on April 7th...
