Seeing Old's post below of his latest kids I thought I would post some pictures that may be of interest to some. Warning, they are graphic in nature so if your squeamish look away! BTW, it's just a part of nature and if you raise animals of any kind seeing a live birth is always exciting IMHO.
This doe has kidded quit a few times and this particular time I was there to see both kids born. In this first picture you can see the feet in the sack just prior to delivery. Notice the other kid she already had, she is nudging him under her to help him find the nipple. . In this picture the baby has now been delivered (Mom was laying down this time, they often do that after the first one because they are tired). The sack has already broken, but the kid has not taken it's first breath as of yet. . And in this picture you can see the kid is now breathing and starting to cry. Normally Mom will then begin cleaning up the kid which can be very important especially if the weather is cold. Many kids are lost in cold weather if they are not cleaned and dried quickly either by Mom or one of us humans. . And if all goes well within 30 minutes or so this is what you will see. The kid pretty well cleaned up, a cord hanging down (which I spray with iodine if I'm there early enough) and a kid up on it's feet and looking for it's first meal.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
