One of my Nubian queens gave birth to twins on Saturday. It was hot as Hades, and we were working the farmer's market in Hamilton. I noticed Fancy was full of milk that morning, and predicted a birth shortly. Sure enough, there she was, in a spot she picked herself in front of the chicken room, with two great big colorful and healthy babies. What a thrill for Hannah and Luke who had come from Maine to pick up a load of chickens to take the the Boy Scout camp near Portland. Luke named the babies Bubba and Babbette. Fancy is a first time mother. I purchased her along with Matilda a year ago from my friend Peggy Sue at West Creek Family Farm. I am thrilled and looking forward to gallons of delicious Nubian goat milk.
