SkyWarrior Kidding Thread -- Lisa had her baby! Pictures on Pg 12

[SkyWarrior]

Belle is very pregnant. She looks heavier at night than in the daytime.

So, there you have it, the four does I think will have babies in late February.

Lisa and Lulu will most likely not have babies until March or April. (I have to check my records)

I made my blankets out of my old thermal long underwear, it was real easy I used a dress from my small dog at the time as a pantern and cut folded it over, seamed it, and cut two holes out for the legs, there was already the hole for the neck, when i was sewing the seam I just stop with the patern of the puppy dress, worked great, cause they can still pee and poo without soiling the material and sinse it's thermal it keep's them warm.

Alas, I do not have a sewing machine.

Hey Sky, you don't need a machine or even a needle, just a pair of scissors. I have used extra large mens sweats. Cut the bottoms or the legs off, the elastic at the ankle will be the neck hole. Then just cut a couple of leg holes and if you have a buck lamb, you'd have to cut the belly area a little bit. Easy as pie

Oh !!!

I think my girls are going to kid this week! How could I be so wrong?

Belle's udder popped. Heidi's udder is there and there's a small amount of mucus coming from her backside. Somebody help me!

What were the earliest date/s they were exposed to the buck/s?

Did you check ligs, & what color is the mucus?

She could just be losing her plug, & that can happen way before kidding.

I just have to say- Heidi is just beautiful! And if ever a goats name matched her looks, Heidi would be the poster child, er..goat for it!!! Just love her!!
Looking forward to seeing all the kids from all your pretty girls!

Good luck with kidding, and I sure hope you have time to get everything prepared!

I'm going to check ligs tonight. Last night I couldn't feel Heidi's but she's jumpy and moving around. I'm also not great at feeling for ligs yet. The mucus (the small amount) was clear.

We got Oreo in July. He was 3 months old at the time. He went all bucky late September and we saw him breed Belle and Bonnie. Heidi never appeared in heat, but it's obvious he got her. So, technically, someone might have been bred in August or early September, I reckon.

Sigh. I need a buck pen.
