My girl was due Wednesday, and still nothing. My two FF were way overdue this year-- one by 4 days and the other (so far) by 5.

Well this skinks! I was hoping to see some babies! I don't spend any time with Molly's kids, as well they should be market age for Easter so they may become meat. Im not trying to keep them as pets, but I know they were born for meat. Man I hate thinking of that when I see the cute ones!

Good luck everyone! Our first pure Nubian kids should be in 7 weeks! Stupid waiting!!!

From Jan 1 - Jan 5th, we've had 14 babies. Of course 4 of the mom's picked the coldest nights to have theirs. We're done for a while. Have one more to go, but she just started to bag up.

Riverpines, your pygmy has the cutest belt!

HazyDay, I did have a doe year last year(3does, 2 bucks) , so I'm sure as punishment I will have a buck year. I hope you get does though.

I think the boys are 5-8#, I have to weight them still. Kidding season goes by so fast.
Well, wishing everyone oodles of does!
Megan

Riverpines what great pictures!!! I'm still waiting on Gretta. She keeps doing strange things to keep me on my toes...today she is breathing like she just ran a marathon. I really really want to get this over with...but I also would like her to wait for my hubby to come home. I don't want to do this alone...it scares me. He will be home on Thursday.

Maggie isn't due until the tenth, but a cold front is blowing in and that may have been the signal she was waiting for!
Her udder is "full-to-bursting" as of noon today.
