How often do kids come early

I am pretty sure that Muffin is due Feb 4th and wintr said Crystal is due Feb 2nd. We are getting ready to get 10 inches of snow, it just started. they are still 2 weeks away, surely they wont come this early. Muffin is really big! And udders are developing.

A week on either side of a "due date" is normal

I have Nigerinas & they go anywhere from 146 days to 154 days usually, depending on the doe. I have 1 that almost always goes right about day 146, etc.
