These were taken this morning. What does it look like to you all? Wondering now if she might be closer to delivering than predicted at three months. Curious. Deb

Her udder looks fuller today than it did yesterday. I don't want to get my hopes up that she is having it/then sooner. I just thought it might be from the heat we had today. I guess I need to get my kidding kit together sooner than I thought , maybe. THANKS. Deb

I would take him in a heart beat. Spend time down at his level, finding out that is what I have to do with the the two does I got a month ago. They don't know me and it has been a long stretch but I am gaining their trust finally and can pet them when ever I go in their area. He is a keeper...

Have another question. Went out this after noon and Java had a light yellowish discharge coming out of her like a human woman with a yeast infection. Could it just be a yeast infection and if so what should I do? Not much discharge but enough that I saw it. It was rather warm today, enough...

Well, we had a big break through today. After my granddaughter left the goat area and things calmed down a bit, Nutmeg walked over to me and sniffed my hand and then moved in so that I could scratch her chin and neck. I even got to scratch her back and backside but not to much. I will take these...

Went out a little while ago and took the last box of raisins we had. Grand daughter was upset cuz' those were for her snack today. But she got over it when I said we would go and buy more. Nutmeg stood back as I sat down and opened the box but as soon as Java got near me, nutmeg came running up...

It doesn't sound funny. Java has been the more friendly of the two and I pet her a lot more than Nutmeg will allow me to pet her. Don't know how to ignore preggers (Java) when Nutmeg won't come and let me pet her like Java will. I am trying to be patient and TRYING to divide time and affection...

Thank Mum, that is what I thought. Wasn't sure what "treats" they would like. I will try tomorrow to make better friends with Nutmeg. Maybe a few treats just for her since Java is already a sweetie. THANKS for all your help. Deb

Well, tried to milk Nutmeg today and it was nothing. She didn't want anything to do with me or the milking and when I did get a hand on it there was nothing coming out. She is so small ( her bag ) that I really didn't think I would get anything. She is getting more friendly though. I sat out in...

Guess since a few of you think this, I will have to give it a try. Can't hurt, right? Thanks

Mama It has been over a week and a half since she last nursed her baby and I didn't know that she was milkable so hadn't been milking her. Her teat is a lot smaller than it was 10 days ago. Just wish I would have known when I brought her home on the 14th and could have started milking her...

I used to sit on the computer ALL day playing games on FB but I don't have time anymore for much. I do get on here at night after I put my 5 year old Grand Daughter to bed and then get checking out things and before I know it, it is WAY past my bed time. I could spend all day outside with the...

Thanks Queen Mum. I am trying to be VERY patient with Nutmeg since she is more skiddish than Java Chip. She will take more time to get to trust me and that is fine, I have nothing but time. I had really wanted to get babies so that I could learn as they grew and they might be more willing to...

Mama24; If I had it to do all over again knowing what I know now I can't say I would have driving up to KC and bought the two goats from this woman. I was emailing her for weeks and she answered whatever question I had but since I didn't know what to ask, guess I didn't ask the right one. I did...

Thank you both SO much. I was thinking IF she was she couldn't be to far along but it WOULD have been nice to have been told about when she might be having her kid(s). Like I mentioned I have never had goats and don't know anything about them but what I have read and it seems to me that someone...

Bought two goats 11 days ago from a woman I THOUGHT was a good breeder. She told me that Java got into the bucks pen and she didn't notice for a few days, BUT she can't remember when that was and said that she is PG. Can't even give me an estimated time of kidding. I know absolutely nothing...

I just bought two Nigerian Dwarf does a little over a week ago and one is supposedly pregnant. The breeder can't tell me how far a long she is or when she might have the kid(s) which I think is strange IF she is really a good breeder. The other doe has weaned her two kids she had and is drying...

How would I find someone in my general area that is a RELIABLE breeder? I thought the woman I got these two was but now I am not sure since she didn't tell me anything. I didn't even get a receipt, just their certificates. I want to eventually breed Nutmeg this fall but don't trust her so...

Thank you so much. My hubby is down in the barn working on a milk stand as I type this. I will go to the sight now and read ALL I can absorb at this sight. Really appreciate you letting me know about it. THANKS!!!

THANKS for answering my questions. I don't have a milk stand as of yet. Have found something that will work but need to get the part that holds her head built. I did it by sitting on the floor and trying it that way. Didn't get it all. I will try that later today. None of the stores are open...
