Nigerian Dwarf Baby Goats
Yesterday, August 31, 2011 our Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goat 'Jelly Bean' had her first baby kids...... Twins!!! Meet 'Starburst' and 'Skittles' 'Starburst' was born at 11:18 pm and weighed in at 3 1/2 # - he is a big boy! 'Skittles' was born a few minutes later and weighed in at 2 3/8# - such a sweet tiny little girl! Babies are doing great and Jelly Bean has turned into a fine Momma. my helper during their birth..... (I think this counts as a learning experience.....don't ya love home school!!) Baby Bug 'checkin' the baby out..... I was raised on a farm, around cows, sheep, pigs, etc., but this is the first time I was the 'responsible' adult ( hubby missed it by just minutes ) in the whole goat birthing process..... every time I see the miracle of birth, I'm reminded of what a awesome God we have! We are gonna let the baby's be with momma the next 10 days and then
