Molly's kidding thread~Buckley improved~just waitin' on a normal poo

[savingdogs]

Okay it got a little better since the last post. She is no longer butting him out of the way. She is letting him nurse. She doesn't seem to like him very much either but she is avoiding stepping on him. Eating that grossness seemed to help her realize it is her baby.

I'm thinking now of leaving each mama with their own babies overnight and Donald is banished to the chicken yard. I may move them all together tomorrow esp if Molly is not liking her baby more by then. But I'm thinking she is not hurting him like at first.

Poor little guy is all dirty and tired already. Unlike Ginger's spotless kids, whom she cleans constantly.

Hubby is BUMMED we got a buckling only from her. It seems like she is still pawing the ground but since we got a placenta we are pretty sure she is done. Ginger acted just like this when she was done. Poor Sebastian Junior is all covered in bedding and dirt from her doing that.

One time we had a calf whose momma had died during labor (prolapse) and me and sis took some hay and cleaned the baby. You may consider that.......

Molly didn't even burst the sac. The babe was laying there in the hay. I thought it was dead at first but when I cleaned it up, it was just not breathing very much till I got there and took it out of the sac. Thank goodness I was here and checking every few minutes.

I think she didn't realize it was her baby. But she is now. I think she is like Hubby..............disgusted it looks like Sebastian!

It looks much like Ginger's buckling but is deep chocolate not black. And the face has Molly's markings like the other buckling does, but totally has Sebastian's expression! He has a white chin so it even looks like he has a white beard like Sebastian has. But he does not have the blue eyes, he has brown eyes like Molly. I think he is adorable. He fell asleep inside my hoodie on my lap.

Hubby was really wanting to keep one of Molly's doelings. I told him next year----next year........

At least we got our beautiful little Emilee out of Ginger. I really only wanted to keep ONE of these by the Nigy stud.....we really wanted to go with Mini nubians but for their FF I wanted a smaller guy.

Also, this gives us a pair of males to sell, so they will have each other. Since we are hoping to wether them and sell as brush clearers, their cute markings should help. They are half brother/cousins however you look at it but are very much alike.

Congrats on the kid SD! Looks like Molly and Fudgie had a little chat today! We ended up with two doelings!

Fudgie didn't really want them to nurse at first either, but once I put down some hay for her she went to town eating that (she's been eating NON STOP) and they've figured it out while she's munching away.

BABIES!!!

I'm so glad everything is fine. Now I'm gearing up for what could be a long cold night. Perdy can't seem to settle down and from what I can feel, her ligs are gone. She keeps walking out of the barn and then Rory won't let her back in because Miss Rory is a fat bully:/
And did I mention it's cold? Single digits now and dropping. There's also a skunk in the area and cats howling
Now I gotta got check out Glen's kids
