How far along is she?? (UPDATE)

I had one who had an udder for 7 weeks, hip bones showing for 4 weeks, and discharge for three. She kidded Monday night with triplets.

Goats LIE!

If the baby isn't your buck's the good side is if she has nice does you can retain them since they aren't related.
 
Wellllll
look what I found today!

one boy and one girl... they seem to be doing great! I havent really seen them nurse though, but they are alert and moving around plenty..... other bodily functions all seem to be working as well :)
More photos soon.
 
Oh my goodness!!! Those are super cute little babies!! Congratulations! So does timing make them Buckley's or one of the bucks from their previous owners?



eta: never mind, I read back through and you didn't get them until November - obviously they were bred before. I think I'd be calling to the let their former owners know that not only was it possible that they were bred but you have the babies to prove that they were. Must have been some goatie sneakin' around going on at their old home!
 
Just off the phone wiht the previous owner... she was shocked that Rapunzel just had kids.... she said "I dont know how they bred through the fence". I suggested that maybe a buckling was in with the does for too long. Oh well. Im happy to have them regardless of who their daddy is :)

Rapunzel is a great mom!! I have seen the babies nurse a few times now, they are a few hours older and going strong..... Im so happy!

a few more photos...

They are absolute precious! I have decided the mini silky fainters are my favorite breed of goat.

Do the coats get longer as they get older?
