We've Had An Explosion!

Well, wha'd'ya'know... in the last two days we've had ten kids. Yes, that's right. Ten.
Egypt kidded out first on Wednesday morning with a tiny single buckling, a little chamoise with a star. Then Tigir went into action and produced triplets, two sundgau bucks and a little coal black doeling. All three were pretty small, (which is good, and understandable with triplets!) and the one little guy is the tiniest baby we've had for several years. He's super cute!
Then Verde decided to include herself into the mix and kidded out late that evening with triplets as well, two big chamoise bucks and a slightly smaller black doeling.
("What is it with black doelings?" We ask!)
With the size of those three it is amazing that they all fit in there! But she never looked especially huge, so... wonders will never cease, I guess!
Then the next morning Ave kidded with the third set of triplets! A tiny edition of her mother, a little larger chamoisee, and an even lankier sundgau buckling. We were glad to get the two little does, our percentages were kind of getting murdered there for a while!
So that keeps me busy running to the barn for feedings.
I will have to try and get some photos of them taken and posted. My camera went walkabout with my sister and so I won't have that until she returns late, late, late on Sunday. (Yes, that sister. She is gone, and so I am all alone in a forest of little goats!)
