BOYS 4 : GIRLS 2
All bucklings will be wethered and offered for sale.
Only one more doe due to give birth soon, Molly. I'd estimate by the size of her it may be twins.
The 2 youngest does of Flicker have had their kids. The badger faced black doe had a silver buckling yesterday and the silver doe had a white buckling today.
Today all the new babes got fleece dog coats in size XS (at $10 a pop -- ouch), a friendly petting, and a dose of goat drench. The silver doeling that is a week old now was put in a fleece zip-up coat in size 18 months which was much more affordable than a dog coat ($2.50) and fit perfectly. We're going down to 17 degrees tonight with wind and possibly snow so I'll sleep much better with them having a snuggie on.
Both of our automatic stock tanks sprung mysterious leaks and will need to be cleaned, repaired and adjusted. In the meantime we'll have to turn them on and off as needed at the valve near the house.
