Loving the herd life
I purchased two 2 year old Nubian does this winter (Jan) that have never kidded. For the past week or so I have noticed that she has REALLY puffy girly bits and seems to be developing an udder. She used to look just like her sister but now has a small udder, filling out tits and a puffy back end, plus she has noticibly rounder...I assumed she was putting on weight after I wormed her as I suspected they had a bad case of worms...but now with the udder development I am thinking she might be pregnant.
I did have a buck on site for a couple weeks when I first got them but they were in separate pens and didn't seem to be in heat at the time. I have contacted the person I purchased them from and I know that she had bucks on site to see if she had any idea if a surprise breeding may have occured.
Here are some pics of the goats and comparing to her sister.
The doe in question is on the right and has the white face.
Here is her rear shot, hard to tell the udder develop but there is definitely a bulge out from her tummy.
I am tempted to go to the dollar store and buy a preg and see if I can catch her to pee on it...does that really work?
I would be very excited if she was pregnant, any idea how far along she might be? or am I totally grasping for straws and all of this is normal and she's not pregnant?
Thanks!
