Aw, I'm sorry. It has just been a buck year it seems like for a lot of people. You do need some girls!

lol, it has been a buck year around here for sure. A few of my goat friends have had either all bucklings or mostly all bucklings. granted they are like me with only a few girls to begin with.

I think she has another week or two. So I guess September 15th, twins a doe and buckling.

I think she has another week or two. So I guess September 15th, twins a doe and buckling.

Another week? ah well, I guess I have not had enough sleepless nights or lost enough hair yet. waiting 5 months is stressful enough, but waiting for an undetermined amount of time due to a previous owner who doesn't count days is enough for someone to need meds just to get through.

I believe she is going to have twins as well. There seems to be too much movement now for just one kid. They feel so tiny too, when my other girls were carrying their single bucklings the parts when kicking and pushing were so so much bigger. Of course this is my first time in a long time with smaller goats. This years experience is all large dairy goats. 10 plus lb kids. Almost 15 years ago when I worked on a goat farm, they had pygoras, most of the kids were smallish.

What is the average size for Nigerian kids or possibly ND x pygmy cross kids?

Well today came and went and no signs of kidding. I thought maybe her udder felt a little fuller but it is not shiny. baby(ies) were quite active tonight. much kicking going on....Did I mention that a wonderful end of the summer storm rolled in about an hour ago and it is POURING out with thunder and lightening?

I'll guess this Saturday...twin girls

I'm in the middle of my herd having their babies and I'm going to guess next Tuesday since she hasn't dropped yet. As for the weight of pygmy babies they are tiny! my one doe delivered twins today and I (guessing) think they weigh about 3 pounds each. But totally healthy. I'll post pics tomorrow so you can see.

twin girls this saturday? I like your thinking

I guess I can wait until next week, She decided the storm was not worthy of having babies, could be due to my sleep out with a battery lantern and a sleeping bag in the goat house....lol. Nothing is getting by me if I can help it

Pictures would be wonderful, thanks
