My pygmy doe, Flory Joe, was already bred when I got her at an auction on March 24. I didn't get any info on when she may have actually been bred------with pygmies being so chunky, it's hard to tell what's mama and what's baby! Her udder stayed small for so long that I had started thinking she wasn't bred at all-----but about a month ago it started getting bigger, so I knew she had a baby in there.

Today she acheived "boom" and has a small amount of discharge and looks as though the baby(ies) has dropped. She's spent all day going between the goat shed and another smaller shelter I have in the goatyard and talking to her side. This is pretty exciting, as my other 3 does that kidded earlier this summer did so when I was gone. I'm thinking there will be a baby either by morning or sometime tomorrow!

Here's a pic of Flory from when I first got her:

(The bare spot on her back is from when I shaved her and she had knocked the guard off the clippers w/o me knowing it!)

So, what does everyone think? Will she kid tonight?

The second is also mostly black with salt and pepper nose and ears, white star on top of head and a white splash on the right side---not sure of sex. :love I will definately post pics in the morning. Unless I get some when I go back out to check on them in a bit. ;)

Well, here they are!

Doeling 1 (Calling her Sammy after Sammy Davis Jr.----that's who she looks like to me.)
