I have one of my nubians litterally crawl 1/2 onto my lap before she got to pushing she wanted to be comforted I guess. By the way it is not comfortable to have a laboring full size doe on your lap. She may want you there is she a first timer? She may be confused about what is going on with her body.

The staring at the wall google "star gazing" this was the sign that told me to stay out with one of my does last year and she had baby within 1 hour.

All goats are different these are just my thoughts. I have to wait another 2 1/2 months before my girls have any kids

Yep, she's probly waiting till 3 a.m. or some crazy time like that! Can you snuggle up in a sleeping bag with her or just keep checking on her every couple hours?

I had a FF once that made little moan's, etc. & would only be quiet as long as I sat next to her & rubbed her & talked to her. It was almost like she was saying to me "What's going on, I have a tummy ache" or something. As soon as the baby was born though she did really good & the maternal instincts took over & she was a good mother.

Don't forget we'll want pictures remember!

If I were going to raise one on the bottle I would choose the doeling, and leave the 2 bucklings with her, but that is just me. As for the other losing her plug sometimes mine have lost theirs several days before kidding.
Looking forward to the pictures.

So the Boer had triplets? My little Nigerians nurse triplets no problem with only 2 teats. I think unless you want to bottle feed 1 I would put them all with her. I can't rmember if she's a first freshener? Even if she is, she may be an excellent mother & feed them all with no problems.
Congratulations on the little one's. Keep us up on the Nubian.
