LOL! Well, first of all, that kid is just as likely to be a buck -- don't count your doelings before they hatch! :baby04:
If all goes well, she'll probably kid within a few days of the 15th, if you are sure that's when she's due. Are you familiar with all the signs of imminent kidding? (They can still fool you -- two of mine have had 'false labor' a couple of weeks before they were actually due, and it looked pretty real! But another one never showed any sign at all that she was in active labor -- I went out to do chores and found a dried-off little buckling.) Raising livestock is a good way to learn patience, and doing things on a more natural schedule/cycle. Babies come when they are ready, hopefully not before (you really don't want a preemie). So be patient, and spend time with your doe watching her and getting very familiar with her normal behavior. That way you'll more easily spot when she starts into labor.
