I adopted a Nigerian doe 2/5/25. I had her ultrasound on 2/14/25. We saw at least 3 kids and the vet guessed 90 days on 2/14 so mid April delivery. I know it’s a guess but in the last 5+weeks I have fed her as a pregnant doe and she has popped! Attaching a photo from overhead camera. Just wondering what you all think. I was told that she has kidded about 2 years ago and she is supposed to be about 4 years old.

What size buck was she bred to?
I have no idea apparently there were several turned out with the herd. When I arrived at the farm it was icy and about 20 degrees and he had the girls I was adopting in an aisle. We loaded them up in my jeep and I headed home. That was 2/7 it was on 2/14 the ultrasound showed at least 3 kids. The vet guessed 90 days at that point. I was told that they were open.

Or ..whenever she decides :lol: Vets are pretty good at guessing based on fetal development. Month of April -- but with trips, maybe the short side of 150 days, rather than long side of 158.

We'll be waiting for pictures! ☺️ just wait on her, don't fret.
