The numbers in the litter will depend almost entirely on the does fertility. Fertility is affected by her genentics and nutrtion-- As long as the doe is getting everything she needs to support a large litter, her ovaries will release higher numbers of ova.   If her fresh forages include higher proteins, you will not need to worry about that-- fresh alfalfa is fine-- or even permit high quality alfalfa /clover on a daily basis-- If you have access to pond-- gather small duckweed- "Lemna Minor"- the dry matter protein level in THAT miniscule plant is 98%!!!  It is real easy to grow the duckweed, as well...
