Question What do you think? When will they kid?

What do you think? When will they kid? - Goats Lil should be due 3/5 - first freshener. She is bagging up but not too sunken around the tail when standing.

What do you think? When will they kid? - Goats This is Clara - the bossy yet lovable herd queen. Another first freshener due to kid 2/26. She is the widest by far. Starting to bag up and all sunken around the tail when standing.

What do you think? When will they kid? - Goats Here is Magil (standing with her daughter Lil). She is due to kid (second time) on February 25th. She is bagging up very nicely and as you can see is sunken around her tail.

What do you think? When will they kid? - Goats One more shot of Magil, I'm trying to show her udder a little better... But the camera phone leaves much to be desired. I'll take the kodak out this afternoon and try to get better photos. All the girls (including the two LaMancha boer crosses, due 3/5, who wouldn't cooperate for photos) are "pooching" nicely, as mentioned in rabbitpatch's "Pregnant?" thread.

I am so excited I don't think I can wait much longer! And with all the groaning and moaning going on in the shed - the girls are feeling the pressure too!

So, what do you think?

My guess (and this is based on nothing, just a guess) is Clara will go first on 28th with Magil right behind her within 6 hours. Lil, not until 3/9. Keep us posted. I can't even imagine having that many babies coming around the same time...fun!!
