They're adorable! I can't imagine what that doe must have looked like at the end of her pregnancy. My does who've had 5 had bellies hanging within a couple inches of the ground by the end.
Since I know a lot of newbies read this site, I have to add that maybe one in a million does could feed seven kids. Here's a blog post that I wrote about that topic:
Oops! Just saw I didn't finish this post, and put it in the wrong place. Sorry. Any way, I just wanted to share about this doe that had 7 kids this spring/summer. She reised them all to a month just nursing them herself, and after that they were supplemented with a bottle. Pretty cute stuff! Amazing doe, too.
