I made a video clip of our five kids from this year and put it on youtube.
There are four doe kids and one buck kid. Two of the doe kids are identical twins (came from a single embryo which split after implanting). They are polled. They look to be black and white but are actually dark redish brown and white.
The buck kid is a full brother to our only doe from last year, Chloe.
In the video, the kids are on a table I had concocted for another purpose and then it seemed to be a good studio prop for the video. At the end, Chloe and the wether, Hatfield, can be seen on the ground. We now have seven ND goats in our herd. Last year we had five kids born. Two bucks of the four from last year were sold. One lives in New Zealand now, and the other is up north in the state of Queensland. Two were wethered. We have kept one and the other has gone to live on another goat property not far from us.
The twins are Lotte (both ears with brown) and Liesl (one white ear).
The black buckskin with spots doe is Florence.
The black doe kid with the white crescent on the side is Stella.
The buck kid is Hermes.
(Notice that Chloe has her fur up. She seems to insist on letting the little doe kids know VERY well that she is the boss! They now give her plenty of room. Interestingly, she doesn't head butt the buck kid except very gently. Those pheromones are already getting busy at eight weeks!)

Awesome! I'm so glad your luck has turned with the gender ratio! Now you can start raising some goats! :)
