Last night we had a second kidding. My favorite girl had twin doe but unfortunately one did not make it.
This was an accidental pregnancy with a determined buck that escaped his pen. After several conversations with friends and our vet, we took into consideration how far along she was and let the pregnancy continue with monitoring.
I went inside for an hour and feed my human kids and came out to check on the other doe that had quads just prior.
I heard a gush and looked over to see the second kid being born. Then I saw the first laying on the ground, still covered in the sack and goopy. I immediately started working on her while yelling for Zach. He took over while I tended to the second kid. Unfortunately, after much effort, we were not able to revive her.
The second kid is doing great this morning and mom has a little healing to do from what appears to be a rough kidding.
Our hearts are heavy with two losses in the same day. But we are thankful for two healthy moms and their remaining kids. šā„ļø
Kid count as of now: 8D 4B
