Babies, Babies and more Babies!
All of our babies are finally born. You might remember that we had 5 fainting goat babies....previously pictured and videoed (ad nauseum!). In the past two weeks, our Dwarf Nigerian goats, Star and Ash, have also delivered. Each had 3 kids. Star had two buckling and a doeling and Ash had two doelings and one buckling. Each of Star's kids are blue-eyed and have a white star on their forhead....so far they are named Spider and Stella.....and well, the last little guy needs a name!
Spider and my daughter Jenn (he is quite affectionate and loves giving little kisses.)
Stella (right) and her un-named brother.
Ash's kids are quite different looking...they are tri-color. Two are marked very similarly and the third is plain black with just a touch of white. Her name is Jane (for Plain Jane...in comparison with her siblings!)
Pictures of Plain Jane tomorrow.......
