Is this a hermaphrodite?

[Birch Hill Farm]

We are concerned about one of our baby goats. This is the surviving baby from the mother who miscarried an undeveloped baby. We noticed that when viewed form the back this baby doe looked a bit like a buck. I thought maybe some kind of hernia was causing this. So, I searched "hernia" on this forum and came across a thread about a hermaphrodite goat. here is that thread
Pics of a Hermaphrodite

That goat looks a little bit like our baby. Here are pictures of our baby goat.



What do you all think?

how old is she? teats look normal size to me.
if you look at her vulva, can you see a little pea size bulb inside?

thanks for the reply. She is 10 days old. Have not checked anything else yet.

Edit- it does look a bit different to me, but i'v never dealt with hermaphrodites before. Im curious now...must go google

I have a doe that is not flush either. Maybe not quite as pronounced as this kid, but I questioned her ability to reproduce. She had a cute little doe about a month ago. I will see if I have picts, or if she has changed much.

I too, wonder about the kid above, not sure either way, sorry.

Don't be so quick to claim it a hermaphrodite. I have a doe who you would bet was a hermaphrodite by the looks of her vulva. She is in fact a doe, a very good milker and has had many kids.
She has the classic pea sized protrusion and small point at the end of her vulva.

Thanks for the replys!. At a glance she looks alot like the back end of her mother, other then a bit of a bulge making her look like a buck


I hope she is a normal doe, her and her mother are the only 100% boer we have , everybody else is %.

May just be a bit swollen from the pg hormones. Otherwise she looks normal.

That was my hermaphrodite thread. I think your baby looks just fine. My guess is that she will breed perfectly normally. Boer babies have lots of excess skin, I think that is what you are seeing from behind.
