Could she be bred?

My sweet Sugar had two kids (twins) about 10 weeks ago. She was housed with a bunch of other goats, including a buck and some bucklings. Her previous owner did not see her go into heat or be bred, but I have my suspicions she might be. Would it be too soon after having kids for her to go into heat again?

She's a nigerian dwarf (well, 1/4 Saanen, 3/4 ND)

Thoughts? I love the buck and he's soon to go to freezer camp, so I wouldn't mind... (he's my other goat's sire)

Mine usually come into heat four months after kidding, I say usually because goats like to be contrary!
If it was 10 weeks ago that she kidded it is doubtful that she is bred. I can't tell anything from her rear end since it would be too soon and she is currently in milk.
But having fun guessing, it is part of the doe's evil plot to make you stare at her hind end and rub her all over wondering. I have a walking whale right now and she is going to hold in those babies till she feels like she has had enough rubs, scratches and pooch staring, lol.

She's my little love anyway, so either way, I'm happy!

I recently purchased a mini-mancha and her baby. The mother was only 8 months old when she had the baby. That means she was only 3 months old when she got pregnant, just a baby herself. It's possible.
