New Nigerian Dwarf Arrivals

Dude's Nigerian Dwarf kids are arriving and we have lots of colors! We had eleven (11) born Sunday and have a few more does to kid. We also have some of CarsonCity's kids arriving too. With temperatures in the teen's every morning and the highs in the low 30's, it has been quite an experience and it is keeping us busy. We have heat lamps running in the barn keeping the day old kids warm. After a couple of days in their individual pens with the heat lamps, they are transferred to a "community pen" with their moms. This is where they get to show their independence. I already have a couple of kids who escape through the 4X4 inch wire to go spend time with the Nubians and even venture outside with the llama. When it is time to nurse, they venture back into the barn and back to their moms. I've lost count (not really - - I have some color coated neck bands (blue for bucks/red for does)to put on each kid labelled with their tattoo number to keep them separated), but we have approximately twenty (20) new kids running around! Picture day will be coming soon when it warms up and you can take a look at the new arrivals on our website.
