New to goats could my Pygmy be in pre labor?

No problem . Keep us updated please. Also as a side note since you started this thread its your sworn duty to post pics .

What bucks does the person you got her from have? Are they all pygmies or does she have a variety?

Why is it a good thing she isnt a camel??

Yep, goats can be SUPER spoiled. Ive got a few that get very annoying if I dont pay attention to them xD. 2 older kids I have right now actually thump a back leg like a dog when you scratch their necks just right . Needless to say these might very well be my best goats right now lol.

I know she had *some* pygmy bucks but when I got Niya she had already sold them as she was getting out of goats. I am not sure if she had anything other than pygmys in with her. I hope not anyways. My daughter was searching goat births at youtube and up popped a camel birth and that's why I am so glad Niya is not a camel, that was rough! Yeah Niya got spoiled really bad when she got here, I guess she didn't get a lot of one on one time so her and my others just soak it up. I rustle a candy wrapper and they come running. I trained them when they hear it to come running, that way if they ever get out no matter where they are they will always listen. They think they are lap dogs sometimes. I never knew just how smart goats were until these guys. And yes,I do solemnly swear to post pics! I get carried away with photos lol I know I'm going to photo/video the birth if I am there. Oh I just pray it's soon Today she had a slight amount of discharge and her hoo ha is more elongated . I begged her last night to please send her kid(s) out lol . I really appreciate the time you all took to post your replies. I'm a newbie at this and most forums and not keen on newcomers. Thanks!!

Last night Niya did more neck stretching but I did not sit with her as usual and really observe her because she gives so many false signals I didn't want to get annoyed. As of today Niya has a small amount of white mucus and is now grazing with the others. Her hoo ha is slightly swollen (yet again) As if this all wasn't enough I took a pregnancy test myself and the darn thing came out positive

Thanks. It was quite a shock! This is #4 ! I will need a straight jacket in a pretty padded white room by the time all this over it! I feel like I will have this baby before Niya does. lol

I woke up this morning and heard Niya yell so I ran to her pen and she calmed down. I seen her arch her back downwards a couple times but then stopped. She was pawing at my towel that I took out there just in case and I noticed she has built herself the most unusual ball of hay I assume she was build a nest? I don't see any discharge but she is acting rather weird. My buck is being a giant jerk in rut. I really don't like him right now. I will keep you all posted.....

Could be today. Do you know how to check ligaments?

 

[sevlep1]

I have no idea if I am doing it correctly. I have watched every video and still don't know.
