Newbie-trying to tell if ND doe is in heat

[logansmommy7]

I think she might be. We have had her only for almost a month. We have a buck to take her to, but want to time it right. She is a proven doe, has had at least one set of twins. She was outside by herself last night at 10:30 when I came to close their stall (this is late for us, but usually they are always curled up in their stall). This morning, she is unusually vocal and sort of restless. What else do I look for? We have two wethers that are kind of sniffing her and stuff...please helP!

tail flagging

if she moans and groans and that tail is just a wiggling and jiggling and flagging etc. then she is in heat or close.

all her body movements will be directly related to be wanting to be bred. she wants the buck....she goes up to him, he does his thing and she rubs on him etc. with that tail just a flaggin'

body language will tell all definitely if a buck is near her.


Why are you waiting to take her to the buck? Go for it. She will have to stay (per the perfect breeding) stay thru 2 cycles to be certain to be bred (well as certain one can be when winging it..lol)

Get her near that buck and you will know if she is exactly ready....there is no misreading her desire or his...lol
