Oh no!

How many do you think are in there??? Keep in mind she's due on JULY 23RD. These were taken LAST WEEK. More than two months from her duedate! If I've got the correct one... And I think I do because she is showing no udder development. She has two duedates. One in June, and one in july (went back into heat.) But she's always been very good at starting an udder about 6-8 weeks before kidding... Something her daughter (due on JUne 19) did a couple weeks ago, and daisy's june duedate is very close to her daughters... So I"m strongly rooting for the later due date. ANywho, here are some pics of her expanding waistline:





And here's one of her last year, the day before kidding with Quads:



And just for fun, here's her daughter still more than one month from duedate:

[PygmyLover]

yup she is preggers.........oh wait you knew that! lol

I had a pygmy goat who look to be carring triplets at only 2 months along! But she only had one buckling! Go figure!

[mygoat]

LOL see, the BAD thing is I KNOW she produces large multiples! Quads last year, so I Don't think she's faking her size. Kinda hope she is... Because she's still got two months to go and is almost as large as she was last year, at her duedate, with quads... I don't think having a 1/2 dozen kids will be good for her at all!

[PygmyLover]

lol no probably not. but she could be fooling you. My doe (the one I mentioned) only had a single last year as well and she was tiny so this year I was most certain to get triplets. AHHH

I don't go by size anymore. It doesn't work. I had a doe who was HUGE! I only had her and another doe. Well the huge doe had a single while the smaller doe had twins!

[CountryHaven]

WOW she's huge. If she's not due til July she's a house. She's bigger than my girl due in a week. Although my girl is a ff and probably just carrying one or two. Dang though. I feel sorry for that poor girl having to carry all that through the heat of June and July.Whew. Paste a 'wide load' sign on her butt.

[CountryHaven]

Jeesh, I just now saw the pic of her daughter. Are these small goats, or full sized? I do know that smaller animals tend to look way larger than their full-sized counterparts when pregnant. I have some mini horses that look like beached whales, and the smaller they are the bigger they look when preggo, but dang your girls being so far from their dates and looking like that... wow.

[Oldntimes]

I would say either trips or Quads, It is normal for the mini goats to fill out like that..
Let us know.

[mygoat]

They're both minis. They're not like pygmy conformation though, and look like regular goats, just smaller, hehe.

Oh, and that third pic IS FROM LAST YEAR, WHEN SHE HAD QUADS! Is it just me, or is she almost as big already! eeek!

[PygmyLover]

if they are of the mini variety then they very well could be Nigerian Dwarf and yes they do expand out like that. pregnancy is so cute on the minis.

[mygoat]

I know they get huge but the white doe above has never shown earlier two months before kidding, even last year with quads... She's huge, and has been huge, for a while now... *sigh* I wish they were here NOW! I hate waiting for babies. Looks like I'll be getting quite the number of kids this year. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

I have a pygmy that had 5 three years in a row (I think it's called a "litter"!). The only time she had less than five was when she got in my buck pen and got bred by my Saanen. Luckily, that time, she had "only" four.
