The birth of these two does means that Sunny has a 50/50 doe/buck ratio for the second year in a row. While I would prefer a higher doe ratio, I'm happy that it isn't higher on the buck side. And the fact that he throws a lot of color is a bonus! This doe kid reminds me of last years buck kid out of Sunny x Millie, who like Libby is black and white. The doe kid that didn't survive had flashy markings very similar to Sunny's half sister Mystery.
I gave Millie a stern talking to this morning about not following Dahlia's and Libby's example and told her she should wait until at least this weekend to kid. Of course having done that she will either kid early herself, or hold out until well past her due date. Hmmm..... I think I might just head back out to the barn and get the kidding stall ready just in case.
