I have two Dutch does bred out, for both doe's first litters and Rachel kindled today.

7gorgeous babies

2are torts, 3 I think are going to be gray and 2 blacks-possibly. I don't remember exactly how many had light bellies. Rachel has resisted being bred due to weather. I'm hoping Lindsay (tort doe also bred to Sydmy Gray boy)

I'll keep both does in the same thread, Lindsay should have her babies in the next day or so, they were bred one day after the other.
 
All the babies are doing very well, plump bellies. If I didn't have someplace to be shortly, I was going to stay and watch Lindsay, She had just gotten a little bloody spot in her cage as I was getting ready to leave. So the other litter, baby pictures tomorrow!!
 
Well Lindsay had her babies, 3 tort 2 black but she had them across the bottom of the wire-after building this beautiful nest. So they didn't make it :( poohy. As for Skye's babies, if I can catch her right after she has them, then I could foster them over to Rachel but she's pretty good about waiting for me to leave to have them and then stomp them. If she does raise these kits, she raises some of the sweetest, well mannered kits I've ever had.
 
They aren't a well marked bunch, but 2 gray, 3 black, 2 tort. I will have more pictures up soon. Just have to upload to computer.
Skye had one really tiny baby, so it wasn't fosterable to rachel, it was a third the size of rachel's babies, but it's still alive(it's a solid tort) and she's taking very good care of this baby. SO Skye retires with one last litter. I'll keep her as a show doe for a little longer
 
Okay, so I mixed up a few a few days. I got new pictures today, eyes are starting to open, and the only thing left alive is Rachel's 7. all three blacks, 2 grays and what appears to be 2 tort-grays.

And the two's bellies. Def not torts! I didn't think she'd keep them being her first litter and lately a lot of my young does haven't been keeping their first litters. But mommy's tort, daddy's a Gray (tort mother, steel father). I might actually keep one of these babies, just to see what color they turn out in the end.
 
Yep, all 7 are from one litter, and on the ADRC they list their color as Gold, not tort-gray. They ahve a halfway decent pedigree on them, not top of the line names or anything, but i find sometimes the best pedigree doesn't mean anything . . . :) I've got a lot of small name breeder's stock and my babies are coming out very nice.



:D

THough shamefully Skye's baby didn't make it. 3 days it lived, it was a peanut. :( poor little thing.



 
I can see that! They all look very good babies!! I was searching for the gold/yellow dutch's and they can get pretty $$$..
