This doe was bred unintentionally, and I don't know when she's due at all.

I'm going to guess Bess on Feb. 14th & the next doe in the picture the brown one on Feb. 11th.


Alice in TX/MO I'd be keeping a close eye on that girl, she looks huge & like she's ready to go any day now.

I'm checking her three times a day. Not much udder development yet, but she's a mature doe, and she may not bag up much ahead of time. All I can tell you is "probably not today."

Alice- "probably not today" seems to be the saying around here too! lol I bet that girl is having triplets, she is huge!

DGS- I am going with the 16th for the first dark colored doe and then the 11th for the second doe. I have @ due around the same time and they look about the same.

I thought that only Bess is pictured, one set from last week and one set of pix from yesterday Either way the goat I see looks like she is carrying a single and not very big on the right side.

I am going to say a singleton on Feb. 21 so that triplets will pop and surprise us all on Feb 14th cause goats like to be contrary!

Alice! Oh, my GOODNESS!

DGS, Bess looks like any time now. Can't even guess on the brown gal, but she looks "soon", too. Remember now - - - pictures when the kids arrive!

LOL! I think you may be right! I thought since it said "first one up" there was more than one...the black one and the brown one. But maybe it is just the picture making the color look different
DGS! Please clarify

hehe sorry for not clarifying guys, bess is goat in both sets of pics :P the top ones are from last week and then "brown" ones are from this week. she does seem more brown o.0 It was by the same camera, but one was inside and one was outside, so thats probably the reason for the color difference.

Alice....WOW! shes huge!! i say feb 8 or 9th! shes huge!!

Alice, I bet that she intentionally bred. hehehe and the buck had all intentions!!!

DGS and Alice, We all know that it takes cjb to determine if a doe's actually in the family way!
