Hi all, thanks for the responses. She is healing and is as healthy & happy as usual. Mama worried, what can I do?

Thanks. I have never seen a mouth sore on goats, wanted to make sure this is not it or contagious.

This doe kid's parents are both healthy and tested neg (as did the rest of our herd) for CL. A week ago I noticed the right chick was swollen. This morning hubby pressed, a little puss came out, about 3 hours later this is what it looked like. Of course I think the worst, especially since we...

I have 8 Nubians & 1 sheep. I think she is a Florida short hair sheep. We got her from a friend in exchange for a goat but she was afraid of people. Since we put her with the goat yard she has calmed down & even started to come near us. I have had no problems.

Thanks! I read this post. The location of the golf ball on my doe is higher, so I thought it may be a different thing. Anyhow... I will be happy to apply some iodine on her tail ASAP & see what happens. This doe was my first doe ever, she is a good mother and a good milker, I would be very sad...

This is a first for me. We are in an area with no goat-vets, only pets vets. I wonder if I should try to get a horse vet to look at it. Does it look familiar to anyone?

I guess we have to keep our wonderful, friendly, beautiful buck and...see what next year brings us. My hubby was out of town when most of them were born and on the phone he asked me to check again and again, saying: are you sure? Yes, I am. After having mostly boys in our family I know what it...

We had 5 boys from the same buck, 4 different nannies. 2 additional babies were born dead, and I didn't check their sex. My husband says the buck may be "defective". I say my husband and his father, as well as my grandfather are all defective if that is the case: My father is one of 3 boys...

Real pretty goats. I read here that Nubians are very noisy, and my Nubians confirm it out laud daily. Just so you'd know in case you have neighbors nearby. Enjoy!

I don't know how far along she is, but she is really beautiful. Congrats!

Thanks for the reply craftymama86 & Ariel72. We currently have 6 girls & 1 boy. 3 just had babies from him. I am practicing on one of the goats, the one who had the 2 babies. We had 4 babies, all are boys. I have another one that is pregnant, hoping for a girl. If she has delivers during March...

Now I know where my goats learned this from. BTW anyone here milks? I am in South Florida, thinking about getting a couple of milking goats. Hot & humid, but lots of fun! Which breed is the right one for us?

Simply beautiful. Congrats!

Thanks everyone! Three kidded, one (that I know of) to go. I think she has some time, but looks like what I think doesn't matter to them...

At 8 AM this morning we checked on all the animals, and then I took hubby to the airport. Here is what waited for me when I got back: And also: These are 2 different goats who both delivered today. They just waited for him to leave...

So sorry. How are your kids taking it?

Here he is at 2 days old He eats & looks healthy. He has yellow goo poop. Is it normal at 2 days old?

Mazaltov! Waiting for photos.

Thanks all for your advice. Hillsvale, I am in South Florida. No freezing cold here ever. Something developed: The 2 goats that were not as big with smaller udders were left out in the yard while these were respectfully transferred to the maternity ward. Well... My smallest goat, Aliza - a...

They are oh so cute... Enjoy!
