I am soooo excited for our 'baby goat' (thats what we call her) to have baby goat(s)!! I really wanna know how many she will have! My family is going back and forth guessing, so what do you guys think? I think 1, my brother thinks 2 and everyone else changes their minds daily LOL. She is 17 weeks along, and has a pretty good udder coming along for this being her first time! She was bred to a buckskin buck, and i cannot wait to see what color the baby is! but i was reading online that genetics have a role in how many babies she will have. her mom had just one baby (our goat), her grandma had triplets and quadruplets each time, from what we were told. the buck we bred her to, all the does he previously bred had twins or triplets. So what do you guys think? also, since she is 17 weeks along, will she get much bigger than she is now? so excited to see what you guys think! :)

Cute girl! :D
I guess one. I was right on my guess of two on another one. I'm a BYC gal that came on while they were putting up the new site..and I got hooked on the farm animals..especially the moms ready to birth, and then those cute babies!

I'll guess two cause I've noticed how big they can get in the last few days. A boy and a girl.

As Spotz is now a lot closer to her due date, (due on the 12th), I wanna know how many you guys think she will have now? She's gotten quite a bit bigger since i posted this at first. This is our first pregnant doe, so we don't have any expiriences to compare with based on size, LOL.
