udder doubled!

[dm9960]

Hi all! My pregnant doe, whom I have no idea what her due date is, is defintely changing. Her udder has doubled in size in the past 24 hours! She keeps going off by herself, but then rejoining the herd. she is talking to her belly and nudging it. Are we getting close?
At the very latest her due date would be May 11, but that would be if she was bred the day we brought her here, and I know that is not the case.
no goo yet.

Yeah, like any minute now! You don't always get goo as a sign. I've seen some not goo at all until the kids are coming out. Good luck and have the camera ready!

I agree with Kim! I didn't see goo in any of the 3 doe's that have kidded this year.

Woo-hoo! I would say she will have them before tomorrow morning if she hasn't had them already! Get you camera! Good luck! Keep us posted!

The only sure sign we had in our does this kidding season was the ligaments. All other signs were hit and miss. One doe kidded this morning. Started gently crying around 7:30, was uncomfortable, getting up and down, only a few pawings/nesting attempts. By 8:05, she had her first kid, by 8:23 the second one was done. There was no goo, some swelling, but her area didn't even look like it was ready until the first kid came out. No mucus plug, no water breaking, nothing. Just a bubble with 2 hooves pointed in the perfect direction with a little nose poked in between. Good girl, Sassy!
Last year she kidded standing up -- they both just plopped on the floor (of course where there was not hay). I figure that is to make them tough right off the bat HA!
