Yes it is possible, but definitely not recommended if wanted to intentionally. Do you think she might be?

We are thinking she might be. If she is it would have been before we got her as we do not have any bucks.

okay. I'm not sure what the signs are, but it is east to look them up on google of if they are preggo. Have you had goats before?

No we have not had goats before. This is all new to us.

Here are a couple signs
eating more than normal or an average adult goat ND should. If her belly is tighter than normal. Also if she doesn't go into heat again. Obviously a later sign is her udder will fill, but that is later. The best way to tell is have a vet do an ultrasound. How old is she? Is her other baby still nursing?

She doesn't seem to be eating more but we have only had her for 2 weeks. She is 3-4 years old. Her baby tries to nurse a little but she is pushing her away most of the time

I would just keep an eye her and if she doesn't into heat this month, then I would get an ultrasound. If she is preggo, the baby definitely needs to stop nursing so she can get more energy for a new baby

Will do. We have had her two weeks tomorrow so she should be coming into heat soon. Thanks for your help.
