I think we are having kids today

If we do anyone need an educational video? Of course as soon as you say yes shell hold them in until next week, you know the doe code and all

Ligs gone, udder filling, pawing, restless and off her food, and shes actually being nice to the other goats so just maybe. Shes due the 4th but normally goes a few days early since she always has triplets, though its a day or two earlier than i like its 70 outside

Sure, take a video. Then those of us who have to wait will at least get to live through you. I sometimes go back and watch old videos of my babies being born because I just want to see a birth again.
I have a Nigerian Dwarf on day 145 today. I really had thought today was going to be the day but her ligaments were still there a few hours ago and she's showing no signs.

Video's are always good. We should have a video sticky where members can put vids of births,disbudding,feet trimming,copper bolusing,shaving,milking,ect so newbies can go through them. A lot of times its easier to learn to do something if you can actually see it done first. And since a lot members are fairly scattered, it can be hard for someone new to goats to find someone they can watch. So yes, if your girl has her babies today take a video!
