Late Night Kidding

After having dinner at a friends house we came home to one of our does that was given to us by a friend of the family already giving birth.  The doe took care of one of the babies but she didn't take care of the other one at all so it did not make it:(  It was super small and may have been a still born.  The other baby has super long legs and trying to stand but for some reason not latching on to her mom so we ended up giving it a colostrum pill and some milk.  Then we waited another hour and gave her some more milk.  She seems to be doing well this morning but we are still feeding her since we never see her nursing.  She has very pretty black speckled ears just like her mom.  I wish the other one would have made it but we have had a very good birth rate this year.  Only a few more moms left to give birth, lets hope the rest go a little better!
