Kidding has begun and in a matter of about a week it appears that it is almost over.
The current kid count is 23!

| Mama goat and her babies |
 |
| Kids playing on the rocks |
 |
| the "nursery" -- mamas take turns watching the kids |
 |
| a brown kid |
Despite the fact that there has been much rain (resulting in very muddy babies!) it has been good. We've had very few losses and only a few needing bottles.
 |
| Yellow #21 (tag missing) and one of her kids |
 |
| #21's other kids |
At the moment, we don't have any official bottle babies, but #21 had a set of triplets. History has shown that she has trouble taking care of more than one so she and her babies are staying in the shed and they have been getting supplemented with bottles.
AND the chicks are due to arrive tomorrow!
