Almost here!

We should be having kids in the next day or two. Grammy goat (suspected kinder) was marked on Sept 30. I swore I wrote that down somewhere, but of course, I can't find it. Oreo, my Nubian FF is looking like she is very close as well. I don't have a marking date for her, but she is bagging up nicely and was passing some white mucus this evening. Grammy has some colored mucus dried to her lady parts. She is bagging up as well. Both appear sunken in around their tails, although Oreo is softer and looser than Grammy. Oreo is also more co-operative. She and her cousin, Baby were hand raised. Grammy goat was a 'bonus' from the livestock sale, we didn't buy her, but ended up with her nonetheless. She was in milk when we brought her home. Baby, however is showing no signs of being bred, other than lack of heat cycle. I am thinking early April if at all for her.

OK, you have at least one watcher along for the ride... there are no issues and we have kids soon!

I love Nubians LOL! Can't wait to see some babes!

I love my nubians too! In fact, my avatar pic is of our last batch of kids, almost 2 years ago. Oreo and Baby are in that picture. Nothing today, a little more goo, a little more udder development. I'm ok with that. I have to work tomorrow, so if they can just hold off for 24 more hours, then they can let loose!

Good luck with that waiting thing! You know that is when they will go

We are getting our first pure nubian this year. It has been a LONG and hard search to find tested Nubians in my area. heck, my state, and we finally did!

So far nothing today. I hope to make it home long enough to check on them. I need to plan better for next year's kidding. Right now I am in the last two weeks of one musical production, and tonight marks the first rehearsal of a new one. Ugh. I often ask myself, what was I thinking?

I'm waitin' and watchin' this thread as well.

BTW, I love your profile picture! Those long ears...

Well, there's good news and bad news. Oreo dropped kids today around 6:15. Triplets. One was DOA, not sure of the sex. One died about an hour later after my daughter did everything short of a defibrillator. She said it was very gooey, lots of mucus coming from her mouth. The last one, also a doe, is perking up and has warmed considerably. Her mouth was ice cold when my daughter and son started working on her. She is now nibbling on my shirt and wants to eat. Mom seems OK, but is freaked out and not wanting to deal with baby.

Wow... so sorry... more lost kids I hope the little one pulls through.
