My last doe (for this month) just kidded this morning, 157 days. OMG, I was beginning to think she wasn't even bred, just fat. No goo, not much of an udder, and then this morning she started "whining" every few minutes and finally had stringy mucous. 5 hours later I had another buckling. So far it has been 6 bucks and 1 doe.

Hopefully I am getting all the boys for you and Cali will have a doeling. I have a friend that had a doe that gave her triplets on day 161. She hand bred her so she knew the day. ADGA wouldn't register her with that date, said it must have been an error. Go figure. These goats make us crazy.

Good luck and fingers crossed for does.
You know , Malina didn't get the big stringy mucus, just the little 3 inch one and then the next day she went and started pushing. We also had a Buck lol must be buck month.

:barnie Then I hope she waits until May 1st!!!!!

Cali - though over all udder size doesn't appear to be bigger from a quick glance, it has actually grown quite a bit. I was noticing the other day that the area of attatchment(area where the udder attatches to the body, for those of you who didn't already know) is much more than it has appeared. I will work on getting some good pics on here later... once her royal highness has been fed. .... oh yeah... her attitude has started changing... and I sincerely hope it changes back once those babies are born!!!!

The attitude change could be your clue that kid(s) will be coming soon. My girls tend to do that too soon before kidding (but soon before could be up to 2 weeks)...they got lovey again a few weeks after kidding.

Malina turned crazy at the end she was even afraid of her own shadow, any tiny sound, she just totally freaked out.

She is still a little nervous very alert but allows us to pet her and the baby.

Well folks, looks like Cali is setting up to go either tonight or tomorrow night.
Her teats are plump & shiny, her udder(though small) is quite stretched(not really shiny, but I see more skin than hair), her eyes have that disoriented/sick/tired look, she pants a lot when she lays down, she lays down a lot more often, and she is picking the thickest/fluffiest spot to lay down.
:fl :fl :fl
