mine is still holding on to hers too. When is the next full moon??

hmmmm...it's starting to look like how Gretta was last year...I would mark Jan 16th on your calendar as the day ;) But you still have to check every 2 hours at least up until then :)

I will guess that Friday will be the day (next full moon) If she was here it would be tomorrow we got to 70 degrees today and expecting severe thunderstorms tonight and snow tomorrow. Guess when the cali doe (rabbit) is due thinking about all the layers I will have to put on to get to the rabbit shed.

hahahaha yeaaaah... weather is supposed to be cold and wet tomorrow and weds. uuuugh.

Ya know, all you have to do is think she wont kid soon......lol

I'm gonna whisper into the non-ears of my two that if they do to me what reicheru's doe is doing to him, they'll have to look for a different dumbo to give them animal crackers! I AM TIRED of opening this thread without seeing baby pixs!!!

Get on with it for crying out loud!
Paul

hahahaha just when I think she can't get any bigger/pointier... she does.

I watched a doe every night for a month when I thought the ligiments were gone. I almost took her to the vet, but I didn't. then in February while I was gone to work "pop" out came triplets two bucks and a doe.....My wife would laugh and laugh at me trecking to the barn in the middle of the night to "help"

reicheru my doe was jumping fences 15 minutes before kidding I caught her put her back in her pen and said not for another 2 weeks or so if she is that active. And she was huge. I went back inside. Then my brother comes and says your goat is either dieing or having a baby. I didn't believe him but went out just in case and yes she was kidding wasn't it just 15 minutes ago she jumped the fence? I tell ya jumping fences is no sign that it will not be soon. In fact get prepared to catch that kid lol!

Oh and I hope she kids very soon for you!

How is the goat watch going?

I thought we had some good news today....I think she did swallow a Watermelon seed.

yeah..maybe she's not even pregnant....:eek:

hahahaha nothing. I thought fo sho she'd kid in the crappiest weather. It's the saddest thing... she no longer lifts her tail unless it's to berry... otherwise it just hangs there... and running has to be handsdown the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.

You need a stable mate. :) Its the best $100 bucks you can spend during kidding season.

Patty.

Oh...this thread is too funny! My husband did the night checking after I grew tired of it....so when did they have their babies??? When we weren't watching. Except Meadow....although she tried...but the baby wasn't coming out right.

Pretend that you aren't watching.

Hanging tail is a good sign. I figured mine would go last night as it was windy,rainy,and a full moon but alas no kids yet....

I didn't bother going out to check on her last night. LOL I figured that if she wasn't screaming her head off, she wasn't in labor... sure enough, no kids this morning either. HAHAHAHA

Reicheru,
Ava never said a word last year when two bucklings popped out.
Paul

HAHAHAHAHAHA -beats head against desk- Let's all pray that Scarlet does not pull an Ava. I like sleep. ^____^

No kiddies yet....good greif. Dorkwad!

Really try fias co farms web site they have a ton of good birthing info and pictures to help aid in discernment.

Apparently, Scarlet is the one who needs to read the FF website. lol



ugh. I'm nursing her sister's kid back to health. I came back from riding this afternoon and found her hypothermic in the hay... not under the heat lamp.

bump...anything yet????
:duel:

Nooooooooothing... I thought for sure she'd go tonight.

I lost her sister's kid this afternoon and had to take her body upstate for a necropsy. This is just so messed up. ugh. For once, I'm praying dorkweed waits to kid until I find out what's going on.

oh, I'm sorry this is happening :(...ok, reverse prayers...hang on Dorkwad...wait until Christmas.

She's being a little tyrant today. I may have to throw together a little stall just for herself. I just saw her try to throw one of the nuber doelings over the stall. yiiiiiikes. I'm pretty sure this has more to do with only being outside for an hour the last 2 days because of the ice... and that there's beet pulp still available.The little piggies.

Oh my gosh, she is really being a pill!!!!! She has alot of nerve making all of us wait this long. I think she just wants the attention-- that's it, she is a diva!!!! A Diva Named Dorkweed. That sounds like a title to a book. Hmmmm, there might be something to that.

I think it gonna be real soon. The worse they are the more active they are and the more you don't think she will means she will.

Rach, I am starting to think Gretta will kid before her!

Ahhh!!! the suspense is Killing me... almost enough to make me not want a goat.....nah I still want one. :)

Reicheru, you need to re-title your post...Pre-Christmas day kids
I think it's going to be the week of Jan 16th because this is exactly how it was with my Gretta last year...thought it would e Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then New Years LOL!

Funny
 

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!


This is too funny.

The best thing is I started reading this forum right before or about the time she posted this so I have been watching this thread since the beginning.....:viking:

hahahahaha maybe we'll have turkey for Christmas dinner. I thought fo sho that she'd go last night... she hardly laid down all night... nooooooooooo... she's going to wait until I drag my other does upstate to be bred.

She's walking funny today... kind of low and long? Not sure how to describe it. Buuuut... given that it's 60* right now, today would be a good day, Scarlet.

Anything? low and long sounds promising LOL!

I came home this evening... and it looks like she or someone has been nursing on her. I got excited... looked for kids... NOTHING. freaks.


Now I have to figure out how to keep her from 'relieving the pressure' back there, if it is her... now that she's sitting in a stall by herself.

I think it's time for another picture of Dorkwad....now, before she has the Dorkweeds, so we can feel sorry for her instead of frustrated with her ;)

I AGREE.

You know, I don't think that the "view counter" works on this thread. It counts more than two thousand views. I AM SURE that I've checked it a thousand times :grit: -just me- expecting to see fotos of little Dorkweeds all over the place. GET BUSY Dorkwad!!!
Paul

Yeah Dorkwad! You are not only taking Reicheru's time but lots of other folks too!
Christmas is almost here cant you tell time??

hahahaha it's looking like Santa is going to come early. She's pointy as heck back there and I saw what looked like dried colored discharge. She also ate little of her grain tonight but still ate hay... which isn't like her [or most goats I know] lol

I'm thinking within 3 days?


hahaha I'm looking for AA batteries. I never have any when I need them. RAWR.
