We've got a 3 goats. There is 2 does an one buck. Well one doe we think it breed due to she is getting bigger. Of what can tell she slowly getting a udder. For over a few weeks she has been staying away from the other goats . She is eatting great, drinking water, poop is normal, been wormed not long ago. He eyelid color is nice an pink she not let up on eatting but just staying more away from the others. I'm not 100% sure on when we got her now. Time has went by to fast. She has always been running with a buck never without a buck. I'm trying to think when got her thinking it was May.

If you got her the beginning of May she would still probly have a couple weeks to go but it's hard to say if you don't have a date she started running with a Buck. What kind of goats are they? Some are year around breeders & some are seasonal breeders?

I would guess she is pregnant...and acting weird because of it

She had already been running with bucks before got her. The breed of goats is a pgymy mixed. Some are mixed with ND others another breed of goat. The doe had always been with bucks no matter what. We got her on 5/09/09.

We've been keeping watch on her very closely to see if anything changes but she loves to eat.. LOL..

What else do you need to know?

We're new to goats still so what else do you need to know?

Ask me?

I don't know what else you need to know. Her weight is 80lbs. She's been wormed, eats great an gets clean water. I don't know what else to post. As you read will see when we got her. She had been running with other bucks before getting her so don't have no due date due to way it was.

It's very difficult when you don't have a due date. Goats like to keep you guessing. When mine was preggos I was told she would have the babies in Nov or Dec...well they were born Jan 16th. She gave me all different kinds of signs that she was pregnant..but I thought they were signs of going into labor soon. If you don't have a date then all you can do is wait and worry. Just get all the kidding supplies ready and keep a close eye on her. I found that www.fiascofarm.com was a great website for getting prepared and knowing what to expect. I think her being a loner and staying away from the others is a sign that she is pregnant since there is nothing else wrong.
