She had triplets but the first one was dead. A little girl but she was breech. I called the vet as soon as I realised it was a tail I could see but he was at a lambing (lost ewe and lamb  :( :( ) so the first one was born by the time he got here. He felt inside Cloud and the second one had one leg twisted and the other one back so he pulled it out and the third. Cloud was not impressed with them at first but soon started making the lovely crooning noises and licking them. It took a while to get them to suckle but they finally got the hang of it so I am now indoors with a very large brandy, having left all four goats with the kids being licked by mum and Pom.


I think they are both girls but not positive. I'll investigate properly tomorrow. Yes, I took photos but I'm not bothering with them tonight. I want my bed.  :goat: :goat: :goat: :goat:

Congratulations, sorry for the wee one who didn't make it, lets hope other 2 are girls, I wonder if you'll sleep well tonight  ;D . Looking forward to pics.
 
I actually hate the kidding itself, should I help? should I wait a bit longer, she's not getting anywhere - PANIC - where's a phone number, oh - she's kidded  ::) .
