You really can't tell by looking at how big the doe is. You need to look at their twee twee and see how swollen it is and look at their udder to see how full and tight is is.

Have fun! It is so exciting to be expecting babies.

Very best way to know when they are really close is to feel the ligaments in their rear...go to the fiasco farm website and look at their info. Good luck with her!

Her ligaments aren't going yet her udder is full n tight she dropped a lot since some of those pic

Still nothing we benign having to milk one side if her udder bc it filled n the other side doesn't have that much milk

 

[frustratedearthmother]

There shouldn't be a reason that you would need to milk her out before she kids. I wouldn't worry about her udder being lopsided at this point - what you want to be sure of is that there is colostrum for the babies. It is of the utmost importance that they get it because of the antibodies it contains which are necessary for the kids.

I save it when I milk her if I don't do it I see her drinking her milk at least if I do it I can save it for the kids

 

[frustratedearthmother]

If she is self-sucking then you are doing the right thing by milking and saving it.
