Hahaha! For real!
Mommy has been losing her plug and it's turned not as white and her belly is almost dragging the ground.
Some morning's I wonder if she's had them and is just hiding them

Sara I am kinda alarmed at your goats behaviour even having quads born here we have never had a doe have stinking burps more than normal. Are you sure she is eating, drinking, pooping normally?
Bucks stink does do not. If you need a good fair vet please consider Dr Frost or Thomalson with Bethlehem animal hospital, yes they come out our way and are very reasonable. if you need me 7-842-five five two eight text is best

She's not acting weird in any way... I was looking out into a field and realized there is a ton of wild onion right now. Maybe that is what im smelling.m

The babies are going to love that onion flavored milk. YUMMY! lol

yummy - almost as good as bitter weed! :yuck:

She kinda looks like she's dropped some and her tail is raised. I can just about get my hands around the bone, but that had proven me wrong before. When laying down she definitely didn't look ad wide as she has.

I took some pictures today. What do y'all think?
Stomach Dropped, tail raised, single/multiples?

Hmmm...the first and second pic caught my attention. Is that some vag ooze on her udder? I noticed the hair on my nubian girls around the low back/hip area looked like they developed new cowlicks within 24 hours before the kids came. I think that actually happened just before. As the hips moved into position, the hair didn't sit smooth anymore and poked out oddly.

To see if she dropped, we would need an above pic and a side pic. Her udder looks full, but nothing else catches my attention... I guess it's still a wait and see thing! But we might be able to tell from a side pic, with would also show us if the tail was raised or not.

Oh, okay, well her ligaments look really sunken. :)

Whoa! I think they're about to WALK out on their own! She's waiting for snow tomorrow! Beautiful girl, Ober markings are my favorite.

SarahFair - Here's arrows to the area that caught my attention, how it' sunken on the sides of the spin in pic 1 and 2 and I've had it move very fast at times, but I've also had it take another month. I'll post more pics here to show you one of my does just before her kids arrived.

SarahFair - This is my nubian doe, Janet. The first pic is 3 days before kidding. Second pic is about 40 minutes before kidding, and last are the babies. On pic 2, do you see how her body has changed at the back compared to pic 1? Its 2 different angles, but there's a significant change. That's what you'll watch for. Let me see if I can find pics of my angora doe that's a little stockier.

Yes, they get that Jersey cow look to their hips right before they kid. THAT'S what dropping is. When you seriously think you have either starved your goat or she already have the kids somewhere, that is when she has dropped. I was going on and off about my goat dropping, because I had never seen it before, but once she really dropped (30 minutes pre-kidding) I KNEW it. I mean, holy cow, I was all confuzzled, looking for babies!

Look at pictures of Jersey cows in milk and you'll get the idea. ;)

Here's one example I got off of Google. Yes, this cow needs a sandwich or two, but this gives the idea of what I meant.

She had them around 5:30 yesterday afternoon. Good thing too, we have snow coming in this afternoon.

Two little girls! I couldn't be more pleased! Everyone is doing great.
I'm torn on keeping them and selling their daddy, or selling them and putting it towards a pure oberhasli. Ugh.
Their sire is a really good buck though. Gentle giant.
