SOOOO Busy arond here!!! Plus we are all just getting over being sick on top of having new babies, dehorning, vaccinating etc....spot, dot and wendy are sold and will hang about until weaning time, next to post bambi and max and see if anyone is interested!
So, Miss Lucy even though she was...
Honey is in the kidding pen! Mainly because she has that I'm too pregnant stumpy walk, and just needs a no competition place to rest and eat. :rolleyes: She does not like wendy AT ALL :smack but then again whenever she was laying down, wendy kept trying to bounce off her pregnant belly like a...
Thanks everyone!
I've been MIA for a bit, kids (my children) have been sick, and we've just been busy busy!
Wendy is half lamancha, and half alpine. We rented an alpine buck for a "romantic holiday" with the girls.
So with my other girls, we have Lucy, who was due yesterday, Honey, due today...
So after all that time, I was starting toworry, then she started actually pushing! Things went REALLY fast then, and TADA! Sweet little girl! She was up in no time, and hungry! :love
Emma is a sweet mama! any sound her baby makes she is right there licking away!
Well she is DEFINATELY in labor now!! Sh's been having contractions all morning, went off her feed last night, up down, up down... BUT no goo? Hw long can this behavior last? she's not pushing, but you can tell when she has a contration...
Oh Man! You be careful and lock down tight! I don't know how I'd do living in tornado country... My husband and I laugh at our weather station and how they portray CA weather "STORM WATCH 2012! K-chow K-chow!! (lightning flashes) Tonight, we are going to have some serious weather out here folks...
Ever get the feeling your goats are laughing at you? I swear whenever they say MA-A-A it's really HA-HA-A. :th They are all just playing mean tricks on me! :he
No Change in Emma, no more plug coming out, stretching, arching, yawning still. Today is her actual due date.
Honey on the other hand...
:hugs Sorry to hear this! I had a doe miscarry this season, but her udder didn't fill up. Her discharge was pretty goopy, and she didn't pass anything other than the blood.
Here's a pic of the discharge, this was the worst it got. Hope this helps.
What's this I hear about Lamancha's going early? I think someone made it up just to drive me crazy! ;) Emma's due date is tomorrow, her ligs are soft, her belly has seriously dropped, her udder is really filling out. She made a nest in the shed, and otherwise thinks I'm insane for coming out in...
Based on the things you've said, it sounds like it's mainly territorial, for food, fun play spots, not like she's getting constantly picked on? I'd try and seperate at grain feeding time.
What about the discharge you mentioned in another post? is it a lot? clear? opaque?
I don't always feel...
Crazy rain last night and again today! no babies though... Emma is doing a bunch of yawning today, and her ligs are softening even more! Honey is still all mush. It was pouring on me so I forgot to check out either udder...
Mitransplant:
Sounds normal to me, if they are new to each other they...
Break in all you like!
I'm not an expert, but I'm seeing this as a change of behavior, this particular doe has never acted this way. I'd see it as normal with new goats trying to establish dominance, does in heat or other hormonal changes (which is what I suspect with my girl). Did you get...
Emma just tried to mount Honey... after she did a lot of tounge flapping and pawing at her! :rolleyes: We have a little stormy weather rolling in late this afternoon, so we'll see!
