Will get them later today. I am on my way to the vet with the one feline who has ripped open his leg. He needs stitches and is not very cooperative so the vet is gonna does him and then stitch him.

This is Sophia. Please excuse the mess but they are goats and knew I wanted to take pictures. She was the first of the three. She also is very extremely mushy in the tail area.

Just curious because I can't see/tell... Have any of them started bagging up yet? I can't see any udder development on any of them. Are they all first fresheners? Are you going to give those cute hinies a haircut/trim before birthing? It will make clean up a lot easier and make less of a mess when the inevitable happens...

If they are as close as they are supposed to be, I'm guessing they are all singles from the pics. But having never been through it, I have no real experience to draw on :confused: Pretty excited to see the outcome though!

The three of them are first timers. Not sure about the bagging up as they do not like to be handled much and my poor husband had a time to get them to stay still so we could get pictures of them. Not going to trim them a it is a getting chilly up this way. I have no issues cleaning up the mess, even if it requires a bit more work.

Once they have them we will know the number. I have eggs hatching atm and a injured cat that needs my attention so the most inconvenient time would be for them to kid tonight. lol

going off of what my have looked like before I think you have some time, probably 2-3 weeks. there is no udder development that I see and their rear-ends still look pretty tight. also no one looks like the have dropped down, where the baby is laying low. good luck though. and keep us updated.
