[rebelINny]

I WISH they would hurry up!!! They both look like someone stuck a firecracker in their backsides but still no kids. They are up this morning eating hay and acting normal UGH!!

Don't you know that the more times you post, "They're close" or "I'm sure it's today" that they will purposely deleay another 24 hrs at least?

I don't ever say, "So and so is in labor" until I see definite contractions...because they love to make liars out of us.

Well Annie is due today and Sicily is due on the 4th and Dove, I don't know but she's close. I wish Annie would hurry up already!!! I checked her this morning and she isn't doing anything but eating and doesn't have a huge udder but she doesn't usually have a huge udder anyway even in milk but she doesn't even look very open today. Ugh! Of course this is the doe that last year also looked fine and the 15 minutes I was in the other barn watching a different doe kid Annie had dropped twins. In fifteen minutes with no opening, goop, or anything. The only thing that made me wonder was she was in the barn instead of outside with the other goats She is a sneak!!

Well Annie FINALLY did it!!!She kidded today at 12 pm. I was there and this is the first time in three kiddings that I have finally got to SEE her kid. She had a single doeling.....7lbs. She is gorgeous! Annie is the goat in my profile pic. She is 50% Alpine and 50% Nubian. She was bred to a registered French Alpine buck and I don't have him any more and lost a buck and doe kid from him this year because they were aborted She is all I will be able to get out of him and I am soooooooooo happy she is a SHE. Sorry no pics yet as my batteries are dead in my camera and my puter is crashed but maybe in a couple of days I can get a pic on here. She has a white face and ears and from her neck down she has chinchilla color spashing. She has a real wide dorsel stripe all the way down her back that looks very dark roan and has dark roan on the lower side of her left side and the chinchilla spotting on the upper of that side. Her right side is all white with chinchilla colored spots . The very neat thing is that her right ear stands erect while her left lops . I will try to get a pic. I had to help a bit as her head was big and Annie's vulva lip was stuck on her forehead. Thankfully nothing major and they are both doing excellent. Trying to decide a name. Her sire is Only*Kidding One More Round (Rounder) and I want to have something of his name in hers. I am playing with MerryGo Round, Rounder's Uno or something like that. Any suggestions or if you like one of the names I posted then VOTE I need a name for her! Still waiting on Dove (building an udder) and Stella who was due yesterday. Annie was 7 days late!!

Congratulations!

I've heard that doe kids tend to take a little longer pregnancy than males but I don't know if it is true or not.
