Lots of folks watching here, isn't it funny how excited we all are? Newbie question here, do goats lie down to give birth, or do they do it standing up?

It depends on the doe... typically they will lay down, but there are some that will kid standing up.

That is true, some do squat to kid... and I have to say that when Cinnamon squatted to pee earlier, she stayed in squat for a few minutes... I was starting to wonder if she might be starting the process...

Oh, by the way, for those that don't know... if you leave it on in the background and they trigger the alert, you want to have the sound up though... If I remember correctly, it is a horse whinny-ing along with the sound of clicking hooves....
