What does it mean when they stretch their head back? Is it just something they do?

I KNOW Betty's Prego!
I hate to burst your bubble. But that doe was doing it because she was in active labor. Your doe isn't. Your doe is just doing normal goat behavior. All mine do that, even my boys. And I know they aren't bred.

I've been watching this thread for a few days and you seem to think your doe was having contractions for the last several days. But they don't have them that long. By the pictures I don't think she is bred. I think you are just thinking and wishing she is, and your convincing yourself. Just like I do when I'm eagerly waiting babies.

I'm in no way trying to be rude. I just don't want you to get your hopes all up. From previous pictures she does not look bred. Maybe you could show new ones and a couple people could put their input. But the easier way would be to send to biotracking.
