So, remember how I said all kiddings should be completed before tomorrow so there should be no more possible interruptions to our farm co-op day??? Well, I may have spoken too soon.
(For more details, click here)
Should Clover decide to wait to go into labor until tomorrow, we MAY have to have a free for all in the backyard for Group A.
So be prepared.
If I am needed in the barn during co-op time, older Group A-ers that can keep up and want to do so, may join Group B in PE. Those who are not able to keep up/don't want to join in PE can play freely in the backyard (as long as parents are watching).
If Clover decides to have her babies during co-op, we MAY allow kids to watch in the barn. I say we may because I am very particular during labor that everything is as quiet and peaceful as possible so as not to stress out the doe. I will not hesitate to kick out any child who is making noise or in other ways distracting my doe. If I decide that it is safe for children to watch, I will warn you in advance that I cannot guarantee a safe delivery. Sometimes (VERY rarely) baby goats are born stillborn or there is a difficult kidding that requires assistance. Even if everything goes smoothly, a doe that is kidding will scream in pain. If your child is sensitive, this might not be a good fit for them.
So. There's my disclaimer. I'm hoping she doesn't decide to go into labor during co-op because I am really excited about tomorrow's project--so she probably will go into labor just to spite me.
Keeping my fingers crossed that she waits!
