How are we looking today? I was thinking it would be this week, but now I'm not so sure. (remember these are pygmys, pretty small girls) Hopefully my progression pictures will help another newbie later, to gauge her goats' progress! This is Molly, who looks a few days farther along. She has some...
Still waiting...Molly has had a discharge for about 3 days and today her lady parts are really pushed out looking and puffy. Her ligs still appear to be there, so I'll keep checking!
yes, it is their first time, they are only about a year old.they are fattening up nicely! These are our first goats too, so we don't really know what to expe:cool:ct! They really look to be due almost the same day!
UPDATE: Noticed a tiny bit of whitish goo on Molly today. Hoping that means it is getting close! Ligs are very soft, but still there. I'll keep checking!
Could I use one of the babies born soon, if he's castrated? A wether makes good company, right? But how young is too young to be together? The buck is about 9 months old.
We have two female pygmys that are pregnant, and one buck. I want to separate them, but how big an enclosure will he need? I can move it around to stay on fresh grass, and will give him his own shelter. But how big is a good sized pen for a single buck?
I watched that YouTube on finding ligament. I found them on both, pretty soft but still there. I can't wait for babies!!! I'll post pics when they get here! Thanks for all the help and advice. What are your "must haves" for your birthing kit?
I felt a baby move today! On the right side, underneath, just before the udder! Getting closer, how I wish I knew when, it is a bit of a walk to the enclosure! I think they'll both have a single, their bellies aren't that big!
Yay! I am so excited! They are first timers too, so we'll all be freaked out together! I'd better get to TSC and pick up some essentials. Their little bodies don't seem that much bigger, maybe they'll have small babies? My 5 little kids are so excited for bouncing babies, I hope all goes well...
I have two pygmy sisters, I believe both are pregnant but have no clue as to when they would be due. Here are their udders today, a vast improvement over the past weeks. What do the experts say? They are our first goats and we are really excited. I want to get a better idea as to when they would...
Well, I think the girls are getting bigger. I hope it's not just all the free range greens they've been eating. What do you think? Looking pregnant now? They are 8 months old, were told they were already bred when we bought them, so no idea when they'd be due. Here's updated pics? Opinions...
Thank you so much 20kidsonhill! That is so helpful! I am sure that she won't be due for several more weeks, if not a couple months. But it is so nice to see something to compare to! I really appreciate your help!
