Shes still got 11 days left to go however she has dropped them down further then yesterday, her ligs are gone, bagged up, her vulva is poofy and she has begun licking everything. I got a full unwanted face cleaning this morning when I went in to check on her.
Shes also been doing lots of stretching as you can see from the first picture and shes been crying for me all day. The good news, no mucus yet!
So, is it normal for goats to go early? Or should i assume its the doe code and just keep an eye on her?

First, I just wanted to say she's so pretty! :) Today would be Day 136, right? IMO, that is a bit early. I've heard of does kidding on Days 142, 143, and I had one of my does go on Day 141. I'd definitely be keeping an eye on her anyway though.

Thank you :D
We got her from a couple who raise show saanans so we know shes not only pretty because shes our baby but shes pretty because shes to standard lol
I cant wait to see the baby :D she is bred to Nor'easter, who's apparently a very well known and top winning buck :) Her babys will be so pretty!
But anyway, yes there are still 11 days left :( i'm hoping this is just the doe code since there's no mucus or anything obvious like pushing. Though when she stretched she did rip one heck of a fart for a goat lol
Anyway! Im really hoping she waits, because now shes making me a very nervous person X_X

Such is the beauty of field breeding.... I don't know when who is due! The first two weeks leading up to the first lambs I go crazy but after that I just let the lambs come as they may.

Except she wasn't field bred T_T I bought her from a show breeder who made sure to witness the breeding before we came out and brought her home. We were given her exact breeding date, which means shes due tomorrow. Yet nothing!!??
