I'm a beginner with goats... I was planning to buy a young billy to raise with my nanny and eventually breed. I was told by a breeder that my female goat's teats were "Balloon teats" and that a kid wouldn't be able to suckle. I have never read anything such, but figured I'd ask to be on the safe...
I'm still not sure my doe is pregnant... but shes had the same signs (fat, discharge).I hate that goats are liars and as far as dreaming about it... I dreamed my doe had triplets... one was a sheep!! lol :lau
Maggie (I Think) is a mix between Boer, Kiko, and Nigerian Dwarf. About a month ago Maggie started producing milk. Thought it was odd so I have been watching her closely. Then about a week ago she passed a white discharge that I assumed was the "plug" and that she must have been pregnant when...
Actually... No not sure she's pregnant. I assumed she was pregnant when we got her... Started producing milk.... white discharge...???? Someone said before "Goats are notorious liars. :barnie"
I'm no expert, but I have a goat that stays in the yard with my dog. At night, even just walking she lags behind and screams for us. :barnie I always assumed she couldn't see as well. I have had to turn back and walk her with us VERY slowly callind her name the whole way. I don't know about...
I have felt the ligaments. They seem a little looser than yesterday... but it might be my mind playin tricks.She's been distant more than usual. I think it just means she's getting closer.
My doe is getting ready to kid and I have been watching kidding videos on youtube. This is a terrible idea if the goat is on the front porch which is only a few yards from the computer. When the kid started calling its mother on the video she jumped up and started looking. I stopped the video...
These are the best pictures I can get. Until 4 months ago she wouldn't let me touch her... she's still hard to handle. :he
What I saw as far as the "plug" goes was a white thick gross looking discharge.:ep Hours later there was a darker colored discharge on her, but now its clean... I must sound...
