Still no baby goats!!

BABY GOATS!!! The first mama has 2 healthy babies!
They are dried off, warmed up, and starting to try to nurse so I'm back inside warming up for a bit.

The first mama is definitely in labour!! I moved her and a friend goat into a barn stall. Huzzah! Baby goats are coming soon!!
I'm almost warmed up again, so back out to the barn I go!
@sundogplanets wouldn’t do for the kids to miss their first snowstorm, lol

Still no baby goats. Just loads of snow. #BabyGoatCountdown
@sundogplanets cherish your beautiful moments. Mine are gone after my life partner of 40+ years passed. Still working on finding a path. Thanks for your hard work and everything you do!

It is seriously so cool to watch goat instincts. The mama immediately starts talking to her babies in a different voice than she uses to talk to me or the adult goats, and the babies almost immediately know how to start nursing, wagging their little tails and everything. The mama cleans off the babies by licking them, which also stimulates them to get up and nurse. Cute AND functional!
Maybe one other mama in early labour?

@sundogplanets Can you record them? I don't think I've ever heard a baby goat.

the way that animals "just learn" how to do what they need is indeed amazing. i remember the first time i dealt with a litter of kittens. their eyes were barely open before they'd been shown the litter box, how to feed, they already had starter claws.

@sundogplanets the gross part is listening to them chomping their way through the afterbirth.
. Ew. -

@sundogplanets TOUCHDOWN

Still no baby goats!! And the weather is now totally awful: freezing rain overnight, currently horizontal hard snow (ouch), and we're supposed to get 20cm of snow today. So maybe today is the day! It *is* the due date for 5 of them, so I'll be checking on them a lot in between trying to get back into some kind of regular writing schedule after chaos travel.
@sundogplanets 5 of them eh... how many goats do you have? Or figure you'll have after now?
