My fainter doe had quadruplets last night during a horrendous thunderstorm. Fortunately, I had decided THAT day to put her in the kidding pen a day earlier than she was due. I expected to have to wait ten days. All are healthy, one is a bit small. One looks to have a contracted tendon on his hind fetlock from being squished tight in utero. I'm waiting on my vet to call me back about that.

Sorry, my husband took the camera to work before I could download pics:( Will update later.

Another note: the fetlock straightened out on its own (you were right miniv:))

Hopefully your little goat will be like our foals .... For us, 90% of the time, their legs straighten up with a few days of stretching and exercise.

Looking forward to pics! Love seeing baby goats....
