How long?

I have an alpine/boer cross goat and yesterday was her due date. Is there any specific signs that she would have that a Nigerian dwarf goat would not have? TIA!

What day was that? 145?

Goats generally kid between 145-155 days. Some go a bit earlier or later. I know folks who have had goats go on day 138 to 161.
Our girls tend to kid before day 150.

Every goat is different when it comes to signs of labor, domes goats it's very easy to tell when they are in labor, others not so much.

Just keep an eye on her, she will go when she's good and ready

@Goat Whisperer Thanks for the info! Saturday was day 150, we looked it up and they normally go from 145-152, today is day 152 so I hope that she will have them today! She is bulging a little on her back-end, does that mean anything?

It's normal for does to get swollen "back there" prior to keeping doing
