Flooded Creek Farm Goat Cam. Weighed the babies...WOW!!!

[Ms. Research]

Good morning all. It is morning isn't it? Well, here we are, another day. Elsie's ligs are back this morning. She still has some discharge, no change in udder, full but not really tight. I have NO idea when this girl is gonna give up these kids. I have a full day of medical tests scheduled for Tuesday of next week....anybody wanna take bets? I have to have more repair done on my stomach, and will be out of commission for about 6 weeks afterwards, so who knows, maybe she is going to wait til I cannot even GET to the kidding pen....sigh.....OK, I am done venting now...Have a great day all.

Hoping she goes soon for you. Maybe this weekend?

Hoping all goes smoothly for you with your surgery and the 6 weeks out of commission goes quickly.

Good morning. Well, Elsie seems to be having more and more discharge. Her ligs are gone again this morning, udder about the same as yesterday. Appetite good, all systems seem to be functioning well. She is spending a lot more time laying very still the last couple days. It is a wet but warm day today, and would be a very good day to be born. Thanks for the well wishes Ms. R. Hope everybody has a wonderful day. Wish for healthy babies for me..

Any updates?

How's Elsie doing? Still holding on to those kids?

Still holding out. This morning, around 4 I thought we were going to do something, but she settled back down. She is doing a lot of rolling, shifting sides, even rolling over on her sides and stretching. Looks like contractions, but then she sit back up and goes right back to chewing her cud. Yesterday she had a lot of "egg white" discharge, so I know she is making progress. It is colder than cold here this morning, with about 4 inches of snow and supposed to go down to 7 or 8 tonight.

Well at least you have progress. lol. Come on Elsie.

It's up to 20 here in New Jersey. No snow though. Just cold. But they are saying by Tuesday we are going up to 50 degrees.

7 or 8 degrees tonight? Sounds like Kid time.

Thanks for the update. Hoping she goes before Tuesday.

Hi all. Elsie is still holding out, but she has to be getting close. Her discharge is more and more, and her lady parts are kinda open and loose looking. Udder is much tighter than it has been. She is very restless. Eating good. Her sides have stopped jumping around, so I am thinking MAYBE tonight or tomorrow. But in all reality

Can't wait for the pictures! Come on Elsie, lets see some baby pictures! Hope all goes well, and something happens soon.

 

[Ms. Research]

So how's Elsie doing? Any news?

eta: Took a quick peek, still fat, still eating away, no babies. Oh man, Elsie, give the guy a break. This afternoon.

Popped in to see Elsie. Looks really restless.

At first I thought she had one. The left side of the pen, straw looked like something. But nothing.

And will you tell Elsie not to stand on two legs looking over the wall. lol. Someone must have come into the barn, because she started to stand on two legs to look over the kidding pen wall. I'm telling her, "Get down Elsie, you're pregnant". I know I'm talking to a computer screen, but seeing that, knowing she is alright, probably does that when she's not pregnant, looking for treats, still it came out of my mouth. DH asked me who I was talking to. I said Elsie. He said tell Elsie for him, stop jerking Mamaboid around and have them kids!

Hoping today. Will pop in later.

She is looking out the window when she does that. The whole side of that kidding pen is the barn wall, which is made up of huge big windows. The other goats are on the other side of those windows. When you saw her this morning, she was standing up watching us check over the other goats, and our buck Dude was talking to my dh. They have these male bonding conversations you see, in which I am not allowed to participate. It is so funny to watch and hear. The dh will say something like, "so Dude, how have the girls been treating you?" and the crazy goat goes into this big long story about how their feet stink and they hog the bed. I LOVE goats.

As for Elsie, she is doing a lot of rubbing her sides on the wall, I assume she is repositioning...or maybe just scratchin. No other real changes this morning. I just know she is going to wait until Tuesday when I am gone. I HATE goats.
