Suuuuure that's what "latestarter" would say about being late :P Thanks for the help

Out of curiousity, is there a reason that she would be late with her birth? Everything I've read says the babies drop within 24 hours of labor, and her tail has been laying flat up on her back for days. Anyone got an opinion on this? (Am I crazy? Is she even pregnant?!? THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS)

Nothing on the baby front. I'm beginning to think I'm imagining it. Lily is getting a lot more friendly, but if Myrtle panics and runs from me, Lily does too, though it's pretty obvious she isn't actually scared. (This goat is now walking through my legs at feeding time. She ain't askerd of me...

FINALLY got a picture of Myrtle's backside. It's still grainy as hell, but it's what I have. We're arguing if that line on her bottom is stringy discharge or not. Here are more grainy, poorly lit pictures: @Southern by choice @babsbag @Green Acres Farm @whoeverelse

All this just makes me hope to get kids off Petunia. If Myrtle throws crappy attitude kids- well... this is Florida, there is a large population of people who would be happy to have them for dinner, even if I don't.

Yes! The only reason I'm not thrilled is because I haven't friendlied her up, yet. That, and I don't have a separate pen for mom and babies... I love babies! But if she has them before getting friendly, I might just make them bottle babies because I don't need an entire herd of goats scared of...

@Latestarter So I'm thinking myrtle is pregnant. I compared her udders in pictures from last week to what I saw today, and they seem much bigger. This is what they look like: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y299/kritter11/Ittybittyfront-1.jpg I'm not too thrilled about this since I still can't...

How much land do you have? 0_0 I just bought this place and it's paid off, so I am not moving for nothing! *squats like a hen*

Our neighbors way way way down the street from us raise and train LGD for sale >> I'm not sure I can get much more than 3 goats on a 1/4 acre though... I have an acre total, but that's all that's goat-fenced. And the better half wants to raise a garden... << And I want to do quail... >> <<...

You're just saying that because in 2 weeks I went from no goats to two goats to one goat to three goats. Aaaaaaaand you may have a point. TINY STOMPY FEET GOATS, WITH THEIR TINY LITTLE HORNS AND THE SOUNDS THEY MAKE WHEN EATING... I got it bad, man.

OMG THATS A TINY TINY COW!!one!!1! I HAD NO IDEA THERE WERE TINY COWS WOW (color me impressed.)

Hello, my name is Jennifer, and I'm a goat addict... Kidding; well, if Myrtle is pregnant, anyway :lol: But yes, it's nice to have something go right this week! I figured y'all deserve to hear the good stuff, too, right? We'll see in a few days after I deworm them all again and what the fecal says

I thought it would take longer for the goat girls to warm up to me, but tonight at the dinner meal, I was being mauled! I usually let petunia out to nom the grass around me while I fill their bowls, but today Lily decided to join her! (What a heart attack... I didn't think I would be able to get...

They have loose minerals, but I've only seen lily eat them

My vet didn't do one, either, until I asked. At least now I know.

Not much 12-13 bucks? Not sure, the better half bought it.

It'll have to do until payday, as it is I'm on a ramen diet with all the vet bills and stuff. I'm feeding them this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Family-Farm-Goat-16-Feed-40-lbs/42010641

She's eating and drinking like a pig. I've got her on 1.5c goat pellets morning and night. Morning she gets a 1/4c BOSS and at night 1/4c alfalfa pellets, and all the coastal hay she can consume. I've not seen much improvement in her color, but when she was getting out of the pool yesterday I...

I know y'all said to go slow with putting weight on Petunia, but I'm wondering how long do you think it will take? Every time I look at her versus myrtle or lily, it crushes me seeing how skinny she is. I just want to know when I should start worrying.

I moved to florida from Minnesota two months ago. Worse, I'm a citiot :rolleyes: So moving across the country, and to a VERY rural area- I'm over 30 minutes to the nearest walmart. It's a lifestyle change, but something I've wanted.
