When we bought our little Nigerian Dwarf doe back in November, we didn't know that she was already pregnant. She was only five months old at the time, but apparently had found her way to the ND buck at her previous home prior to coming to us.
We have been watching her closely for the past few weeks, knowing that she was close. By Monday evening, I expected her to give birth in the next few days, but her behavior hadn't changed at all so I went to bed. Woke up Tuesday to twins out in the barn!! Our little Hazel had given birth in the early morning hours, with no problems and no assistance, and both babies are healthy. Both are male, and are pure Nigerian Dwarf that will be for sale in 8 weeks.
