Barn camera link with 10 senior does due around Feb 3rd!

quick question..does the mucous string come before or after contractions start?

 

[cindyg]

Gosh, I wish I could get one of these new doelings. How far would you ship? Ever shipped to Canada?

2 does by dollie!
Mucous can start showing even a week before delivery.
Reservations are pretty well filled up...I do ship but don't think I'll have any extras---and shipping internationally might be a bit more of a challenge.
I don't reach in to grab kids unless the doe has been pushing hard & close together with nothing appearing after 15 minutes. I call the vet by 30 minutes of getting nothing out and make the 1/2 hour drive immediately if needed.
May have more kiddings later today...3 more left to go! And there were 3 different sires bred between the 10 seniors does. Maybe they all got bred during a certain moon phase--I lost count..I think I'm at 11 doe kids and 2 bucks within the past few days!
I think I answered everyones questions--if not, feel free to ask again

I am amazed you can even read the questions let alone answer them at this point. You have had an amazing couple of days. You do a wonderful job, and it really shows how much you love your goats and they love you. You stay calm, so they do too.

I just love tinkers buckling! Congratulations on all of those babies!

All cute babies! I love watching them just bounce around in there!! Adorable!

 

[daisychick]

I love watching them bounce too. Baby goats can't just walk where they need to go they have to bounce on all 4 legs and sideways too. Sooooooooooo cute!

Dang, staid up late to watch but gave up when she settled in and had to be gone most of today. Sounds like everything went well.
