Red face Goat driving me nuts

We thought by now our doe would have had her baby/babies, but nothing yet no goo or anything. The babies/baby are moving like crazy. I wished this goat would have her baby/babies soon. GOING NUTS!!! We spent ever 2 hrs lastnight going out to check on her an nothing.

Question since this 2nd pregnancy will she have these babies later or what?

Here ligements are gone but no babies yet..

We're ready to It's COLD but tonight COLDER.. Will be on goat watch again but dang hope how soon she drops them.

Yep, the Doe Code is appropriate here. For us, all kiddings seem to be different so we don't tend to pay attention to a doe's past kidding performance. I highly suggest getting a baby monitor so you don't have to keep running to check on her. They're not too expensive. Then you can just patiently wait for the big YELL!
