I had both Penelope and Abby in a stall last night together. This morning I went out to feed all the critters and check on them. I heard kids crying but thought it was trudy's. Looked in the stall and there were 4 babies laying on the hay. Penelope was up on the ledge and Abby was down on the floor cleaning all the kids. She was trying to keep Peneolpe's kids. I went ahead and took Trudy and her kids out of the other stall and put Penelope and her 2 kids in there. Abby was not happy about that. I love this picture. The buckling is on the left. He is an Arlo Guthrie Jr. all the way, even with ears. And the little doeling is so cute. She has elf ears like her momma.
These are Abby's 2 little bucklings. They look just like her. But one has her coloring to a T and the other has more reddish-tan like John Henry. So adorable.
Abby's 2 bucklings will be for sale as well as Penelope's doeling as soon as anyone wants them. I have already milked Penelope and she's got a really good udder and was very easy to milk. And of course Abby was as full as a tick. So wilked her out too.
So far they've had 4 bucklings and 2 doelings. Zarah should be next to kid. Can't wait to see hers now.
So what is up with the picture thing? This is the 2nd time this had happened. I'll try to get these pics on my blog. And you can see them on my FB page. It's Outback Farm. And I am the one with the Outback Farm sign on the header. From Chickamauga.
Kris, new babies!!!!!!!! How sweet!!!!! How exciting for you. I know I'd probably be in the barn with all of them. Thanks for sharing. Marly

Such cuties Kris. Good luck with all the issues you got going on. Hopefully everything straightens out for you. Some days it is hard dealing with animals and farming. Everyone goes through that. Enjoy the babies Michele
And here's some more baby cuteness!
