Haven't been around in a few days! Good luck to all of us kidding soon!

My first beagle litter was born Monday for those following. We ended up loosing both the boys and a little girl. Polly now has 4 healthy growing female puppies she is doing extremely well with!

My second female, Apple, decided she wanted her puppies too. She went in labor on Thursday morning. By Thursday night we had EIGHT beautiful little bundles of love. 6 males, and 2 females. She is an excellent mother and to date we have not lost a puppy, ever, from her. Apple has always had small litters, 3-5 puppies generally seem to be her numbers. I guess she figured if she was getting spayed and was not going to have anymore babies, she might as well go out with a bang!

SO all in all we have 12 little beagle puppies, 6 boys and 6 girls! I promise to take pictures and show them off as soon as their eyes open. ...You will all probably get goat baby pictures before the puppies :p

Now on to the goats. Ginger went BOOM about an hour ago. She has been pawing around and looking quite miserable. I went to check her ligs and she shook her head at me. Not wanting me anywhere near her back side. I need 1 male and 1 female out of her. I would love to have 1 male and 2 females so I could keep one. :)

Dont know if it's about time but I think so. this is my first kidding of my own. one of my does is really big the back. Is that a sign, should I do anything? and my internet is being stupid today cause it is snowing.

I have noticed the doe's hips will start to show and look boney. Her belly will shift and she will look more "pear shaped." She might get fussy or restless. That's around 24 hours prior to kidding.

Don't know if this will help any, and I read a post that woo hoo's were allowed here so maybe this will help someone tell me if I'm fixin to have kids running around.
And also should I put her by herself? and what is CDT? I have not give anything? should I do it now?

she looks real bony in the hips I was thinking I needed to feed her more than I have been. She normally wants me to pet her and today she don't . She walks away from me. She is eating and drinking. This is her 3 kidding I'm told. Her udder seems to have grew huge overnight.
