This is my advice based on my experience, of course every situation is unique, moms can reject babies, and that was a risk it was worth taking, because I don’t think the boys would have made it.
I hope it helps!
Do you have any recommendations? Please share them in the comments ❤
God bless
What a special dog Hope is. I hope the babies are all good and healthy now.
They are still inside at night, but they are getting stronger and better everyday. I think Mocha is loving this arrangement, 😂 she lives the single life at night😂
As soon as I start to separate the babies for milking, they will all sleep in a kidding stall, I think the babies will be 4+ pounds by then and will join the other babies, so they can drink from mom during the day, be with the little kids at night and then nurse from mom during the day.
That’s the plan, I hope the continue to improve, because Part of them think they are our human babies😂🤦♀️
Have a great week Karen ❤️
And yes, I love hope so much, it’s funny because she’s been glued to my daughter since we got her at 12 weeks of age, they sleep together, eat together, waited for her bus to get home from school.
And then my daughter went to college and couldn’t take her because she travels with the soccer team while they are playing, so she stayed, she sleeps in the middle of my husband and I while we sit on the couch, goes everywhere in the truck with us, even to the emergency room more than once.
She knows and lifts her paws to be cleaned when comes inside, gives the best hugs and knows she needs a dry bath after being with the goats.
I can tell you a million stories about Hope, she is the best dog ever, and the best goat step mom.
The babies look so different. Good job Lety. You are a good goat momma ❤
So much improvement right? And in 2 days,❤️ that makes me so happy, even though they are still my guests of honor 😂
OH wow!!! That hunch is not normal, good eye!!!
Not at all, and the smaller babies have a tendency to it, however, Annie’s projectile baby is the exception, don’t mess with her😂 she drinks from every mom and fights any boys, hunched back? Never 😂
@@TheHeavenlyHomestead so funny!!!
Missed the premier 😢
Watching now!
Insistence! Good word to describe. Baby Nurses but just doesn't have the energy to be insistent.
My little guy was treating the bottle the same. So I started using a syringe and finally able to get milk I'm him.
Yay! Success! I’m so happy it worked!
@@TheHeavenlyHomestead now if I could get home to eat more than 6 cc's at a time 😆
Lety thanks so much for the info and now I know what happened to the goats of my neighbor before I moved that 1 of them was hunch like that...i wish I know that time what it was... Take care friend and good night!!! Here now is 18 wow. 😳❄
Oh no! I can relate because I didn't know either, but thru some hard experiences, now I can spot some things, not all, but try to be vigilant about it.
18 degrees friend? Oh no, we had some temps in the 20's at the end of february and I almost cried LOL
Are you adjusting ok? Do you feel at home yet?
I pray you are and you do!
Much love and blessings to you always
Lety
Love, love, love 💗💗💗

This is all a lot of work and should not be happening. You need to find the root cause so that the mother raises healthy babies on her own.
- The mother needs to be healthy. Low parasite, have healthy and plentiful food and no vitamin or mineral deficiencies.
- The babies need to be alone with the mother for at least three days after birth - in a clean stall with access to small grazing area.
- Milk mom dry after the third day to remove buildup and get milk flowing.
- You can put bithing moms together, too, but away from the main herd.
- We give our babies vit. B and Invermectin injections around the second day. I stopped giveing them iron injections because our pastures have too much and it deplietes their copper but other people may need to give their goats iron. I also give them an oral dewormer. I found one with copper, which my goats need. You have to keep an eye on them. Any sign of animia or weakness and they may need more deworm.
- On the first day you can bottle train them just in case something happens like a mom dies or something. Its easier for them and they become tamer.
I do everything you listed here, if you look back on my videos you can see that, we also have a vet that comes to the farm 2 x a year, and checks on overall health.
It is a lot of work, for a short period of time when it happens but it doesn’t bother me when I can keep a good line going.
Also culling is an option instead of doing the work, this is my personal preference and I’m ok with it, I continue to try different methods and do what works best.
I’m sure your herd is what works for you, and very easy to keep, good job!
Thanks for the advice
God bless

@@TheHeavenlyHomestead Don't get me wrong. I've had my problems. Right now I'm bottle feeding two whose mom died after being attacked by dogs. Things go well for a while and then stuff happens.
All the best and thanks for your videos. 👍
@@hicoteo thank you! It’s always helpful when people with experience share what works, I’ve learned a lot from others with more experience!
Oh I have 2 bottle monsters at home right now, thankfully the sun is out and they are enjoying being with everyone, or running away from them, 😂 sometimes, but they have the room to coexist ☺️
Thank you for the advice, and willingness to help!
