Sue, ...Thanks Debbie! I'm calling her Miracle!<br /><br />Sue, I'm with you on that. It's worth making the extra effort to keep them in the barn for a smoother transition later on. <br /><br />Tania, I agree!<br /><br />Phil, it is! Rather timely, too.

I'm ho...Yay! Mama is always best, if possible.<br /><br />I'm horribly hard-hearted, so even my orphan bottle babies live in the barn (the only time I let them in the house is if they are newborn & wet, to dry off & warm up enough to take a bottle (even tubing them is better left to when they have warmed up). When they stand up and start hollering for food, out to the barn they go. Yes, it makes it a little more work for me, but in the long run it is better for them. They learn to be goats (or sheep, as the case may be), which is good, since I don't want them to be house pets. When I show up with a bottle they come running, but once I wean they fit right in with the rest of the flock.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-27648334245814362972018-03-30T11:54:48.147-04:002018-03-30T11:54:48.147-04:00So glad she's doing well, Leigh!!

I'm relieved as well.
Quinn,...Gorges, thanks! I'm relieved as well. <br /><br />Quinn, I still worry a bit. I keep her under the heat lamp at night, adjusted so that the temperature stays in the low 70s. I've not seen her shivering any other time, but I don't want her to have to put her growing energy into staying warm. Today she really has the jumping bean feet, so she's active!<br /><br />Lady Locust, yes, it's hard to keep up with everybody sometimes! At least there is a happy ending with this news. :)<br /><br />Michelle, yes she is! And very similar to her older half-sister. I think they'll be very pretty does. <br /><br />Mama Pea, thank you! I figured even if I ended up with a full-time bottle baby, she still needed her mother. Getting her on her mom was a real bonus!
