daisy ready to pop

Here are some photo's of little Daisy (fainter). She is due in April. Starting to get big! Notice the heart shaped spots on her back.

She's very pretty & looks like she's getting pretty big. That definately looks like hearts on her back, maybe should have named her Sweetheart.

Thanks. She is due on April 10, so she has a little over a month to go. She is a real sweet girl, very sensitive. She often scares herself and faints. She has fell in mudpuddles, piles of horse poop, and rolled down a hill (just a couple of rolls). When her and the fainting buck were mating, she got scared and fainted, he got scared because she fainted and he fainted! They must have gotten past it, because kids are on the way!

I know it doesn't hurt them, but I just can not intentionally scare them. It is awful funny to see.
Hope the kidding goes well, since my boer x nubian had a tough kidding (2 D.O.A.).

If things go well, I will have some fainting goats for sale, if anyone is interested (Mid-Michigan area).

I'm new to this so when the kidding begins, I may be yelling for help.

That story is hilarious! I don't have any fainters because I don't think I could watch them faint all the time. Someone told me it's like their having a seizure, is that correct? They sure are pretty goats though.

They just lock up and fall down. It lasts for about a second or two. Then they get up and are fine.
