Looks like the mucus plug to me, they can lose that up to a month before hand. is her bag flaccid at all or very tight?

Good, luck! I'm just gonna wait for baby picture, don't mind me

I don't have goats, I have sheep. All I can say is they like to mess with our minds, some go by the books and others surprise us. Again, good luck with your girly, she looks like she is about to pop

agree with @bloonskiller911. looks like she is losing her mucus plug. and she could go in the next few days to the next month. its part of the doe code oath they all take when they are bred. it is their duty to drive us totally nuts before they deliver at noon on a clear day all by themselves after we have sat up with them all night in the rain for at least three nights and are exhausted. check her udder. is it soft or getting full. hers looks pretty small to me right now. is she a ff or has she kidded before? do you know how to check the ligaments above her tail? watch for the kids to 'drop', she will start to look slimmer a day or two before she kids. and if you are off by one breeding cycle then she would be due right about now. let us know whats happening. and of course the ever present pictures are needed when she kids

thank you guys! This will be her 4th kidding. Her udder is filling up. but still about half the size of when we got her 6 weeks after she had twin boys. I have her on live streaming video so I (and others) can watch her. She's a popular girl on my facebook lol. And her ligaments are still there. She's been loosing her plug for about a week or 2 now. lol

 

[Kada6305]

So she was losing her plug last week. But now she's been having plug discharge the last 4 days or so. Is that normal? To have plug discharge one. and then a week later have it multiple days in a row?

 

[Goat Whisperer]

Have you checked her ligs?

 

[Kada6305]

yes. But have no clue what I'm feeling. I've watched videos. But I just dont know If I'm feeling ligs or her tail bone.

Some will lose bits of the plug over the course of a month. Ligaments are really helpful. Keep feeling and you will get the hang of it-once they are gone, you will have a EUREKA moment. They do feel like bone almost. I think they feel like pencils.
