May or may not be in labor, no committing there. You sound like a weather man...it may or may not rain, might snow too, or then again...maybe not. :lol:

Good luck with whatever Lucy decides to do. ;)

When we had ultra sounds done on the goats for a couple of them the vet said he was pretty confident there were 2. But, it might be 1. Or, it could be 3.

They aren't in labor until I see feet, in my book anyway. Even than, I'm still suspicious of them trying to pull tricks :lol:

She's up down up down up down, leaning back and forth, hollering, the whole bit. Thought I saw a few light pushes, but nothing crazy. Watching from the camera so it might not have been a push.

Think she's grinding her teeth too, poor girl.

Well, no one popped while I was gone :D

Might not be tonight for Lucy, but I'm thinking before Monday... but who knows. She is very uncomfortable and has been stretching a lot. Last year she had NO "goo" until she kidded, she didn't really show many of the impeding labor signs at all last year. Going to have to watch her closely.

We've never had one kid in the middle of the night either! I'm thankful for that.
BUT, everyone else's goats love to kid during the middle of the night, so the owners are all on the phone with us.

But you know the second you let your guard down, they'll all kid!

I don't think anyone will go tonight, but may as well set the alarm and check.
