Maybe a broken leg?
This little one might have a broken leg. It's the back left leg. You can't see it too good here, but it's bent all the way backwards. Not at all like this leg looks, with the pointed part going up. Would that be the ankle? I'm not good at goat parts. I will keep an eye on her and if she's still standing with the leg bent back, I may have to take her to a vet. I'm going tomorrow to get a few things from the co-op, like some Bose and some Vit. E, just in case it might just be a little Selenium deficiency.
Anyone have any ideas what it could be? When I went out this morning and found them, all the kids were all together and Abby was all over. She could have stepped on her leg. It was a little crazy out there.
My bad
I was out in the barn lovin' on the new babies and happened to get a good rear end look at this little one. The one I thought was a buck. I thought it looked a little like some girl parts. Then felt underneath again. And it's NOT a buck but a doe! So Penelope had 2 does! Isn't she the cutest little thing ever?
Abby's kids
And these are Abby's 2 little bucklings. They both look just like her but the one nursing is a little clone. Same coloring and everything. The little one laying down has a more reddish-tan colored stripes and belly like John Henry/ Both are adorable. And for sale. If anyone needs a great herd sire, these would be wonderful. Abby is registered and I am supposed to be getting papers on John to get him registered too. Let me know if you need a good herd sire.
