Menolly has had us on edge for the last two days. Everything loose, goo dribbles, and she was very needy. Today was my state testing so I couldn't skip school but after lunch, Mom picked me up and we went home.
Menolly's timing could not have been any better! I had just finished milking and was going to feed Robin and Athena's kids when I checked Menolly and found goo everywhere. We got her into the milking parlor just as the first kid was born. Nose and toes! Unfortunately he came out so fast that he ripped part of her vulva. He is handsome! Brown ears, magic moon spots, AND 7 pounds, the whole nine yards! Mom wasn't even done drying him when out came a doe! she too was in nose and toes position and was 5.5 pounds. A pretty splash decorates her side :) Both kids were born in less than three minutes! Of course then it took another hour before she passed her placenta.
Over all, MUCH easier than Robin's ordeal and much less stress. The kids are great and we can't feed them fast enough. :)
Below is the doe (above) and the buck (below) at two hours old :)
