Do goats always “look pregnant”

Are you sure you didn't get your goats mixed up. ?

@Latestarter this will be her second kidding. The darker doe in the last pic is one of her twins from last year

@babsbag



I moved her into the kidding area just in case.

I felt and saw babies tonight! How exciting! I think she is close. Her tail is really loose.

If you can get your fingers all of the way around the tail, then she should kid in the next day, or way sooner.

good luck!

Still no babies. Hopefully she doesn’t wait until tonight, it’s supposed to get really cold.

Whenever you DON'T want her to kid.... that is when she will go.

Seems like that’s how it’s gonna go. 6:30 and still no babies.

I know the feeling...I keep screaming “doe code!”

Can someone explain ligaments a bit more to me? I thought that the tail only dropped like that if the ligaments were completely gone. Today I think I felt what would be the ligaments though. I’ve been trying to find them unsuccessfully for the last month with the other doe. Anyways. I think I felt them on this doe today. Thin and long, kinda like a pencil but rubbery and not all hard.


So is it possible for her to still have her ligs even if I can get my fingers under her tail with ease?
