Here's a few things we have ready before our does start delivering.
Kidding pens ready!
These pens are set up inside the regular pens. This gives the doe her own space when it's time to give birth yet keeps her close to her herd.
And almost ready!
Fresh Straw for bedding
Relaxing, Calming, Lavender Essential Oil!
We put a few drops in and around the kidding pens.
Clean towels!
Ingredients for Vitamin/Gatorade drink
(Given to mamma doe after she kids)
Plenty of hot chocolate and coffee for those late night kiddings!
Makeshift bed in barn.
Wet, gloomy weather!
The rule of thumb is if you have does due to deliver you have to have cold, rainy weather. It makes those late night trips out to the barn so invigorating!
