yes, it is their first time, they are only about a year old.they are fattening up nicely! These are our first goats too, so we don't really know what to expect! They really look to be due almost the same day!
Still waiting...Molly has had a discharge for about 3 days and today her lady parts are really pushed out looking and puffy. Her ligs still appear to be there, so I'll keep checking!
How are we looking today? I was thinking it would be this week, but now I'm not so sure. (remember these are pygmys, pretty small girls) Hopefully my progression pictures will help another newbie later, to gauge her goats' progress! This is Molly, who looks a few days farther along. She has some gooey junk everyday. Just a little, but still. Is this the tail thing people talk about? Sticking up like that?
Do the nipples really fill out before labor? I've seen that on some of the pictures on here.
And here's both ladies: Black collar is Lilly, pink is Molly. Who do you think will go first?
My personal wager is Molly will go first with a single, Lilly second with twins. Anyone else have a guess?
So far it's a boy for Lily! She did a great job, with a tough head first, no feet delivery!
Going back to check again. Of course, she went 2 acres deep into her pasture and parked herself under a tree. Lots of ants, too! But I got to see it all!! About how long till she would have a twin if there was one? Was kinda hoping for one girl, but this little guy is super cute! Looks kinda like that bad gremlin, Spike? Ha ha! Yay for my first time!
Congrats on the baby ! Goats csn be tricky, and the best way to know when their gonna kid is to remember last time they kidded and how fast or slow they lost their ligaments and how they acted etc etc. Thats why first timers are so hard!
