Ok. No babies yet. Of course that's always my opening line.
I only have had to deal with no ligs and checking them on laboring goats twice. When I checked cadence last night it was like a whole new experience.lol.. Her ligs were super hard and strong yesterday. I've been checking them for weeks. No change really. But when I checked last night, she was walking at first and let me tell you, it was the grossest thing. I could feel her hip bones and gooshy space and now I understand what you mean about wrapping your fingers around her spine. Blah. They are gone!! Has been since last night. Bag is even bigger, but due to her winter coat I can't tell if its tight and shiny. Sides are sunk in.
How long when the ligs are gone before labor??

Remember when you had your children and you were engourged? That's what her udder will feel like. Full, full. No slack skin. Typically I will use that term loosely as your goats don't like to stick to any rule book. But 4 hours-12 hours is the "normal".

Why thank you....its full...bigger than last year. Nipples have become fat little sausages . She's my bottle baby, really thinks I am her mama.....I came into feed and she won't leave my side. That's how she was last year. She's standing on everything with her front feet, and her vulva has a red hue to it.
And yes I agree, these girls have been the exception to the rule this year, so I won't get to excited until I see babies

I think her bag is literally growing before my eyes. she has been standing next to me not moving for about an hour. Every chicken or cat that comes in the stall, she head butts. The stall door is open, but oddly enough none of the other goats will come in here.... 
She's not dripping anything, but her vulva is starting to get wet and sticky/ glossy looking.. She just finally laid down..
I went inside to refill coffee and she had a fit. Cried and hollered until I came back. So I'm just sitting in the barn watching...

This is like following a soap opera. Your ladies are more popular than " Luke and Laura". I tune in at least 10 times a day to see what's happening.

She's definitely having big contractions. A few small pushes, she's up and down. And is passing gas, through her hoohah. How long should this go on. No goo yet, no feet...

They can have babies without ever having goo.
You know what is pathetic? I was walking around our 15 acre field, and brought my phone JUST to check if she had kidded. Lol

Buck/buck twins. If not, then I'm guessing buck/doe twins.
