Kidding season started on Christmas day with a stillborn buck. The real kidding season started on the 31st though.

12/31
Shelby {FF}- single doe
May {3rd F}- 1 doe, 2 bucks (all breech)
1/1
Toffee {2nd F}- 2 does
Moondust-P {3rd F}- 1 doe
1/3
X59 {FF}- 1 buck
1/4
Starlight {FF}- 2 bucks
1/6
FooFoo {4th F}- 1 doe, 2 bucks
1/7
Sheila {FF}- 1 buck
1/8
Nibbles {3rd F}- 2 does (one Polled), 1 buck (polled) First doe came head only
Jacobea {2nd F}- 1 buck, 1 doe
Y75 {FF}- 1 buck, 1 doe
1/9
Jane Doe {4th known F}- 1 doe, 1 buck
1/10
X21 {2nd F}- 1 doe
Legacy-P {3rd F}- 1 buck
Liliana was due the 8th and I am headed down to check on her after posting this. Then we have a break until the next doe due the 23rd.
Here are some pictures;
The Kidding Pens. Nibbles is at the front and you can see her polled brown buckling curled in front of her. The pens are surrounded with tarps due to the below freezing temps we've had this entire time.
These first 9 are the bottle babies in the house. The CAE Prevention raised kids.
L-R Starlight's buck; May's doe; Toffee's doe (dark red); FooFoo's doe (head up) and Jacobea's doe (head down)
L-R Nibbles' girls. The one without the white spot is the first born and polled; Y75's doe; Jane's doe
Jane's doe. I bought Jane specifically to get spots and after three years I finally got them!
These others are on their dams;
L-R Starlight's buck; Toffee's doe; Moondust's doe
L-R Sheila; Sheila's buck; Shelby's doe and Shelby
Sheila and Shelby are out of a set of triplets. The last our Danielle blessed us with.
Jacobea's buck and Jane's buck
Jane's buck
May's two Nubian bucks in front. FooFoo's two Boer bucks to the right (one nursing). Y75's Alpine cross buck in the back (white with black).
I don't have pictures of a couple of the kids but this should give a bit of a fix...
To add- After getting about two and a half hours of sleep dad called to say there was just a head showing on Lili and it had been there awhile. Aparently the two boys couldn't decide who was going to come first and so both had literally tried to nose their way into position...with no front feet.
We got them both out and will be keeping a close eye on the first one. He nurses but there is some swelling and he isn't as steady on his feet.
So now we get a break!
