Violet!!!

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Twin doelings for Violet! Born around 8:15 and 8:45 last night. It was a classic kidding with Mama and baby girls all doing well. Here they are this morning:
 |
| Firstborn. The flash on the camera picked up her agouti markings, but to the eye she’s solid brown. |
 |
| except for a white band on her left side, |
 |
| and a face like her Mama’s. |
 |
| Little sister is a fuzzball in comparison. |
 |
| Mostly white |
 |
| Also an agouti. Agouti is a common coloring in many animals. It’s when the hairs of fur are banded with different colors, usually black at the base and another color on the tips. |
That makes our kid count for 2017 to be 3 bucklings and 4 doelings.
The onlookers:
 |
| Jessie and her twins were most interested in the newcomers. |
Happily the weather is balmy and beautiful. Perfect for baby goats.
Next time I’ll post updated kid photos along with the names I’m trying on for fit.
