There has been a huge goat waddling around over the last few weeks, so obviously ready to give birth. She’s been hanging out around our house for the last week or so, presumably looking for a suitable place to have her babies. I think she wanted us to make her a bed in our veranda. What a lot of noise a pregnant goat can make ! !
Well she finally gave in and has had what we think is 2 kids, although there were 5 kids all together for the first day. She seems to be feeding two and the other three have disappeared off with someone else. Maybe there was a bit of babysitting going on.
The family, including Dad on occasions, have now decided to move in and shelter under the porch in front of the garage. They as so cute, but very noisy. Mum is extremely protective and will let you know when you are getting too close for comfort. When she leaves them to look for food or to take a short walk the little ones cry until she returns.
Maybe it’s adopt a kid week ! !
