Are these signs of labor???
My Nubian doe is very heavy bred and today would not eat and is gritting her teeth and moaning. She has gotten up a few times but quickly lays back down. Could this be it??? She has a little yellow discharge that started about 2 hours ago. I am so excited, I hope she has them today or this afternoon.
Thanks
Rasha

Teeth grinding is a sign of pain. Getting up and down is a sign of discomfort. Yellow discharge means she has lost her mucus plug. Have you checked her ligaments?

Sounds to me like this is it...My experience from 1 time delivery and tons of reading here that the plug is usually white in color.
Grinding teeth and up and down means she is ready to kid. Please keep us posted!

Amber colored gelly goo is usually amniotic type fluid...it should be soon!

Usually, if you have to ask, "Is she in labor?", she usually is...at least with my does.
