DairyGoatSlave where's the babies?
 

What no babies yet? I'm going to beat you! Hahahaha!

yes, you are gona win...nothing yet :( grrr! drivin me nuts!!

I am really just kidding, My 1st one has about 3 weeks & thats if she goes on day 145 which is not likely.
I just figured yours delivered by now. In due time, I'm sure she's alright just not ready yet.
I don't get worried until they are Past due and not acting normal.

yeah i figured you were joking, she has a wide range of when to be due. darn pen breding!! shes so loose back there i sware shes gona fall apart!! ses not gona go today..that much i know(and i say in in the hope the she will lol!) what breed do you have? cant wait for babys!!:grump:

I have Nigerian Dwarfs & Pygmies. I Love all the little goat babies of any kind though.
You have Nubians don't you?

Oh I just see underneath your post that you have registered Lamancha's. Don't know why I though Nubians?

haha the day i get nubians is the day i have offficaly gone nuts :P
when i get home im going to try and post pics of my does behind and udder, she have the cutest udder ever!!! shes not a big doe just turned a year recently but its cute and brown! well iv got to go because class is about to change and ill be off to second period art(i love my first period class!)

The wait is also driving me crazy. I've been pleading with Meadow to give me a sign.....yep...I'm actually talking to the goat.

I always talk to my goats and the rabbits even when there not pregnant. I must be nuts too then!

Count me in as Nuts with a capitol N then...LOL!
I am constantly talking to all my critters. And I tell them whats going on...like, "ok! I'm going to work and will be home at 2 o'clock!" And if anyone can't tell time they can just ask Shep...he is the oldest. ;)

lol, yeah i always talk to my girls, i ask if today is the day, how they are doing ect...
shes doing ok, walking with kinda stiff legs, is that normal? and walking around glaring and acting like she absolutly hates life...my other very preg doe is as happy as can be, i always see her chewing her cud and relaxing, yasmine on the other had dosent seem to relax at all(especialy today!) and she does chew her cud but even has a nasty expression then too!!

nothing this morning....yep...

talking to goats
 

I talk to mine all the time!

"Goodnight, be good. I'll be back in the morning"
"Goodmorning everyone! Were you good goats while I was gone? Did you eat your hay or sleep on it this time?
"Get on your stand if you want to eat" (for those being milked)
"Yes I know so-and-so was mean to you while I was gone. We'll just eat her after the next kidding okay" (in response to non-stop talking from my submissive girl)
"I swear I am going to eat you if you don't stop (fill in whatever they do that upsets you)

I also talk to the rabbits & chickens &dogs the same way...maybe I need more friends...ha,ha

Painted Pony, no worries, i talk to my animlas all tghe time...its natural :) (well if your an animal person that is) ;)

well i thnk we have early labor...shes up and down, she layed down and stretched out on her side, then kneeled on her front feet, then layed back down all the way and rolled over a few times, then got up and rubbed agains the fence then layed down again and now shes back up..shes also panting really really hard, this all happend in about a span of 5 mins...

I just have to say..that face picture made my night...day...WEEK!

thanks...but what do ya think of her back end?? just went out there and she had a bit o blood(not straight blood, had mucis too)

I don't know what to say about her back end :( sorry...she just looks like it should be soon. Where is she at as far as a due date?

counting cud chews?...
Great! Now that I read that I'll end up doing it and joining the goat nuts! Thanks. :P
My Saanen is due at 150 days on Tuesday. Bred to a beautiful grade Alpine buckling. Yeah, I know the kids are always white. She's confusing cause she is loose, her tendons are starting to go but not completely but she hasn't developed an udder, yet. I don't have tons of experience but my others always had a bit of an udder by now and the tendons would come and go for the last month. They are such teasers! Then I think what if she is just really, really fat!
Maybe I'll beat you both!!
I'll be watching for you and let you know. :)

Pam

lol! yep pam thats wwhat you will be doing ;) cute, cant wait for more baby pics!
minelson, she can go anywhere from now till the 1st!!! i didnt have a buck so i took her to a frineds place who kept her for a while in the pen wiht the buck...
shes gotten more swollen in her back end...shes sort of doing the tail arch thing...im willing to bet (my sanity :p ) that she goes by monday or tuesday...but i dont freking know!!!!
