I've been watching Black Narcissus closely as she is due to give birth tomorrow (or thereabouts) and have just keep been keeping a good eye on Cushla - making sure she's eating well etc, so it came as a surprise this morning when she presented us with her new born son! He's quite small, but looks to be a full term baby, erect ears and good straight legs. Cushla's choice of birthing spots - the dust bath - maybe less than ideal, but perfect weather, warm and still.
I should have realised something was 'up' when Cushla was slow to come to the shed for after brekky treats and didnt stay long or eat anything. An hour later Casper was here!!
He's up and about now, appears to have had a feed and is a source of great curiosity for the 3 other crias in the paddock. Hopefully Black Narcissus delivers an age appropriate play mate shortly!!
