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

[Ms. Research]

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.

Thanks for the explanation. Looking out the window. lol. Well tell Elsie if she would just HAVE those kids, she could get out with the rest of the herd. lol.

Love/Hate relationship. The more and more I read and see, the more this is soooooo true. But thankfully the loving part of goats is more than the hate. lol. And I can't say hate. More like TOTAL frustration! lol


Yep, the way things are going, I think Elsie will have those babies the minute your car leaves the driveway Tuesday. Silly goats.

Hey maybe if you and your DH casually say loudly outside that window, you HOPE Elsie goes after Tuesday. Maybe she'll turn around and have them soon. lol. Well just a thought. Darn doe code.

It is worth a try......heading out the door to go initiate conversation with dh.

 

[Ms. Research]

So how did the conversation work out? Did Elsie get the hint?

Popped in to see Elsie. Still round. She moved from one corner to next.

I know the wait has been very tedious for you. I'm feeling it, and I'm not there and she's not my goat.

let's hope she goes today or tonight.

Still hanging in there. She slept really soundly last night, didn't stir much. At this moment she is quietly chewing her cud. No real change, but if her udder gets much bigger, she will not be able to walk. She is a full blooded fainter, but I swear, I may try milking her, she has a beautiful very large udder with really nice teats. She is so calm, I really think I may try it. Time will tell. Of course, she has to actually HAVE babies first. ....sigh..... Thanks for the company, the support is greatly appreciated.

For some reason only our stupid electric company knows for sure, our electric is flicking off and on this morning, so if you tune in and the camera is dark, it is just because I have not run back down to the barn yet to restart it after the 5th time in the last 2 hours. ggrrrrrr I HATE our electric company.
