When oh when?

I don't know when she was bred, bought her that way back in mid December. She lays down alot more than she used to, but then, with a belly that big, I would too

Looks like it will be real soon to me. All the strange things that happen (like your buck acting up) are signs...Get a book and a chair and a sleeping bag and camp out with her.

Separate her from the buck. He does not need to be annoying her and could harm her. Her bag does not look very big to me but her vagina looks to be pretty long and if he is reacting to her birthing hormones I would say fairly soon.

I've got her separate from the others in a secure pen for the night. I feel bad, she is going from lying down to eating hay to standing in the doorway looking toward where the others are sleeping. I am just afraid that with the buck actually trying to mount her that something could happen to her or the baby if I don't do this.
