Total Six!!

This morning when I went out Megan had lost her plug.  All the big animals got breakfast and milked Berrry.  I feed the bottle babies and Megan still had progressed. 

Megan started pushing and it took about 45 minutes for her to get the first kid out.  Within minutes the second one was on its way.  I got those two cleaned up and put under the heat lamp and went to get the bottle stuff to feed these two and by the time I got back the third was on the ground. 

She had two large boys and a very small girl.  They all seem to be healthy and doing good.  That gives us six babies in all.  four boys and two girls.  I'm so glad to have two girls.  That way I can find homes for the boys and the girls can keep each other company. 

I'm feeding the babies five times a day.  8am Milking and feeding all the animals, bottle feed the babies and make sure everyone has water.  Let the chickens out and makes sure they have feed and water.  11am now warm the milk and bottle feed the babies   2pm warm milk and bottle feed  babies  5pm Milk and feed all the big animals and bottle feed the babies. Get the eggs and put chickens to bed.    8pm.  warm milk and bottle feed the babies.    My day in the barn is done.    In the time between feedings I try to get other things done.  Not really getting much done right now. 

I hope the little boys find homes soon.  It would sure help with the time bottle feeding and save on the milk. 

I'm going to try to get some rest before the 5pm feeding. 
I love baby goats.  It's a good thing, right!!
