Welcome to K-n-S Farm's first kids of 2012. They are purebred Nigerian Dwarf kids, out of Honey Doe Gypsy Girl and by Wild Bill from Honey Doe Farm.Two bucklings. One gold and white and one red and white. Both have very cute little waddles.
The first kid presented with only one leg forward, so I had to ease him back, rearrange him some, and help get him out. It was a little touch and go there for a moment.
The second kid also had quite a big head, but we got him out without too much more effort.
Gypsy was very attentive to them, cleaning them off and talking to them, but it did cause an issue - she didn't want to stand still and let them nurse, she was fretting over them too much. After a moment, I tied her to the wall and relieved some of the pressure on her udder (a lovely udder, I might add!) and then showed the kids where the teats where. After a bit of nursing, the light went off in Gypsy's head and she understood what they were wanting.
I left them happily snuggled together. They're doing quite well, full tummies and happy faces. Typical of bucklings, these guys were born with their horn buds quite prominent, so I'll have to hit them with the iron pretty soon.
Being purebreds, these guys are spared from Freezer Camp and will be available as bucklings or pet wethers. Registration can be arranged.
The next kids are due early March.
