I don't want to scare you but in my neck of the woods there was an ewe that gave birth to quints last winter. They all made it although three of the babies ended up being bottle fed. (I don't know much more detail than that) But that pregnant ewe looked about like our sweet Thelma. So forgive me if I'm out of line but that made me want to ask if you have back-up colostrum/milk and bottles?

and I have NO fingernails left to chew over this poor girl! So go, Thelma, go!

Does her udder look strutted to anybody else?

What does that mean??

Right before kidding/lambing/calving etc, udders get extremely full and tight. Some people call it "strutted", some say "bagged up". It means she's probably close. Also you said she was licking her sides...that's also another sign she could be close.

I do have supplies, but thank you for asking.

I am thinking multiples as well. Her udder is stretched to the limit. She is doing this weird head thing. Throwing it back towards her back end. I put the animals in for the night. There has been a lot of coyote activity. I have the monitor on and listening intently. Hoping for lambs by morning. But I have said that before.

I think I read somewhere they do that to help position the babies for birth so maybe that's what she is doing?

I did notice that some of my girls did that right before birth. The first time i saw it i thought they were having a seizure!

Well, the Ol'Girl is STILL holding out. Her backside does look pinker today. She is eating like a cow still. Actually she looks like a cow with those 2 blind teats. You know they have milk coming out of them too. Anyway, I have to go off island today.....

It seems like its been forever since this thread started, I think she has to have them within the next two days! She can't wait forever, I'm sure those babies are kicking to get out!

It has been almost 3 months since this thread started, my guess is she is going to have them with in the next 2 months.

I am beginning to think Thelma is just playing a mean joke on all of us!
