After fur pulling do they usually kindle? I have a doe that was pulling fur and building a nest this morning, but still no kits this evening.

Congrats on your new litter! :clap

As secuono said, does usually pull fur pretty close to kindling, but each doe has her own pattern. I've seen does that waited until after the babies were born; I had one doe that would start a week or so before. A lot of does will continue to pull for several days afterward, especially if the weather is cold.
