I had an unexpected litter yesterday. 3 stillborn :( today she had another one. It was dead also. Is it normal for her to have one 24 hours later like that? And could there be more? If so is there a chance any could be born alive?
 
Is this the doe's first litter? It's not unusual to have another one after the first ones are born. After 24 hours I would think there would be no more. In your case I wouldn't expect her to have a live one after having 4 dead ones though.
 
Taking 24hrs to deliver them all is normal and they can be spread out weird. After that it's unlikely you'll get more. It's also more common to have all following kits born dead after a dead one because it messes things up.
 
Awwwwh that is sooo sad I think my doe lola might be pregnant but I'm not sure the male she did it with is only about 4 months old I'm not sure if he can get her pregnant or not but her dewlap seems to be much bigger then normal and she pulled out lots of fur about a week ago but hasn't pulled any more since

There's no way of knowing if your 4 month old buck was fertile or not. They can start exhibiting mounting behavior and not get a doe pregnant yet. Just in case, though, be prepared in case she does have kits. :thumbup
