It doesn't appear her udder is well developed.
Again on occasion a goat may not but that is unusual.
Is that possibly a problem???? I'm worried.... been trying to do as much research as I can and asking people around who have goats ....it could be possible that she is more than two weeks till she was due... it's honestly just an estimate :/

I've heard of first fresheners not developing an udder until they are just about to kid. It does happen, although it isn't common.

She is so pretty! :love

I would think it is more than 2 weeks
Particularly a Samnen/Nubian
You need to watch how her udder develops

I took this
Pic a day before this doe kidded
But she had almost this much udder 2 weeks before
I've got another due Feb 7th who has this much
I just went out to try to get a pic but she's laying down
They are first time moms

Ya it could be possible, to be honest we don't know the exact day she was bred but it's was only a little while after we got our Billy we know it for a fact and it's almost five monthes.

Thanks, she is cuddly too! She loves people, we joke that she thinks she is one XD

Our bottle-baby Nubian doeling (now 7-months-old) is like that. :) She's very sweet. Was your doe bottle-fed?

You may have said this before, but what breed of buck is she bred to?
