So Little, Too Early

 

We don't really want to name these goats unless they make it. We have tentative names, but will share them if they make it past a few days. 

Doe 1 - one pound 9 ounces (25 ounces) 

Doe 2 - one pound 10 ounces (26 ounces) 

Buck - one pound .4 ounces (16.4 ounces) 

Doe 3 - one pound 4 ounces (20 ounces) 

Does 1 and 2 have been up on their feet and body temps seem to be normal. The other two kids are on a heating pad trying to get body temps up. All kids have had Bose shots.

We brought the kids in because they were getting stepped on by mom.

I milked all the colostrum from mom and was able to feed a little by syringe to the two bigger girls.  The smaller girl doesn't know how to suckle and so I used a dropper to give her a bit.  The little buckling is not ready and I really do not think he will make it.  As soon as these babies are up and walking around, I will put them with mom.  Until then, I will have to keep them with me and feed momma's milk.
