Now there are 5

Oxi had her twins this afternoon too.  They are tiny compared to Ginger's baby.  Amazingly all 5 kids may be girls.  At least 4 of them are doelings and the other one I haven't been able to pick up yet as Momma is still cleaning it off an bonding with it.

Oxi chose the carport where we put hay for the goats in the winter as her maternity ward.  It is fine for now, away from all the other goats so she can care for her little ones without being molested by the others but they will need to be brought back to the barnyard to spend the night either in the big barn or in the pole barn because the coyote is back again.

Thor chased the coyote away yesterday morning and the neighbors said the nasty predator was in their yard this morning driving their dogs nuts.  I'm sure he is having fowl for at least one meal a day.  I'm missing one goose and the chicken population keeps dwindling.
