I am not an expert either, but that looks like baby goo! Which means my guess is sometime today!

I am no expert either, but that sure looks like she is getting ready. From what I have seen on other kidding threads, she looks like today. 
Come on easy birth, healthy babies and momma, and girls.

Sure hope an expert chimes in on here to help all of us "non-experts" know if we are on baby watch or not.

Thank you Jenni! I cant wait for babies and will be posting pics as soon as I can get 'em!!
Was out checking on her a bit ago and saw her laying on the floor with her head on the ground, neck all stretched out like she was having a contraction and pushing! I RAN back in the house to get help and let everyone know, ran back out to the barn.....only to find her standing at the door, acting like she wanted to go outside and having babies was the FURTHEST thing from her mind. D'Oh!
I felt bad, everyone came running out for a false alarm- but it was kinda funny too. Took us all awhile to calm down.
Gonna go check on her now.....

Well, no babies yet. Still has amber colored moist crusties on her vulva though and it looks elongated and very puffy. She's laying down chewing her cud right now.
Did I mention she has been yawning?
She also makes this weird, grunting sound with every exhaled breath, but only when she's laying down, and she seems to be able to stop doing it when something else gets her attention. No resiratory problems at all, just the weird grunting, but she's been doing that for a few days now.
Hope its soon!!

I am not an expert ( I would really like to meet a goat expert and have them meet some of the goats I have They never do anything the way the books or net claim they are supposed to) Sounds like she is getting close. Is her bag tighter? I never go by the goo My goats have given goo of difrent colors for a month before they kid. She should relax her ligs and tighten her bag. The grunting and yawning are signs she is getting close. With my goats and every goat is diffrent they yawn and paw at the ground grunt get up and repeat. With Britany she was calling for her kids before they were born and gave away she was going in the next 48 hours. I have had other goats that dont have any goo and then there is a kid with them that wasnt there an hour before lol. With butters I thought she was kidding every day for 2 months her bag got biger and biger and biger and her ligs went away and then they would be back the next day. http://www.goatworld.com/articles/pregnancy/pregnancy.shtml This claims u have 2 days before the 5 before or 5 after rule of thumb........ Britany went 4 days early with twins and I watched her get bred, and the Nany came out first lol. Good luck cant wait to see pics. ( I am new to the little goats I like my old Nubians and Lamanchas.)

Was just out with her.... gave her a few small handfulls of goat chow that she hogged down as fast as possible! No new signs though...
Heathen- Her ligs are totally gone, have been for a few days now, and I can get my fingers to touch at the tailhead (been able to do that for 2 days or so). Close as I can figure, she is 143 days today, IF she concieved on Oct 31, like her breeding papers state.
AGH!! This could go on for up to 10 more days????!!! oh noooooooooo
And dont nobody even think to mention D.C. either (im talking in 'code' here so she doesnt hear me)

LOL Fun aint it!!!!!!
It probably wont be 10 days with all the signs I think we stress over it a lot more then they do....... I have one maybe two due in 19 days. The one I am not sure of because they came in heat at the same time and then I thought she came back in but the other goats are still mounting her and she is making a bag. Someone on here informed me this is dominance behaviours lol. Or I have lesbian goats either way she is making a bag so hopefully They go about the same time and then I will have no more to kid this year!!!!!!!!! And I will be able to relax at my sisters wedding in IA The same weekend she would be due lol.
