How many babies?????!

So, where did we get to with all these babies??  Just for your info, we have had 14 new arrivals in the past 24 hours and this takes our current total to 76.  Over half way through now!

So far, we haven't had any further traumas and all mums and babies are doing very well.  It's impossible to take pics of everyone, but here is a little selection for your viewing pleasure:

 

Daughter born to Cerys at 2am this morning

 

Patty with son and daughter - born 11pm last night

 

Maternity pens everywhere!

 

The two goats in the centre of the photo are actually bedded down in an alleyway that is supposed to exist between the main pen and the maternity pens to the right.  I ran out of pens in the wee small hours of this morning and quickly filled the alley full of straw for these two and separated them with a straw bale - seemed to work very well!

 

Older babies

 

Expectant fathers

And what of Flora and her tiny foster daughter?  Well, both have come on very well in the past couple of days and Flora is starting to look a lot better.  We moved her out of her pen this morning and after hauling her to her feet, she walked right across the barn and into the hay barn.  We thought that we would give her much more space so that she could walk around if she wanted to.  So far, she has stayed in the same place and not really moved at all!

Tiny foster daughter is doing great.  She has also developed the knack of feeding whilst Flora is lying down so that she doesn't miss out on her meals!

I'm back to the barn shortly to see what this night brings.  Last night saw very little time for sleeping and I have to admit that I'm feeling a bit secondhand at the moment!  It would be nice to have a loooonnnngggg sleep, uninterrupted!!
