The ever expanding goat!
I dont know how much more she can take. With three more weeks left to go, I hope she doesnt split at the seams. You can see the dark brown is her natural width. I am guessing quints. We have never had more than triplets born here.
How many do you think?

Can she even stand up and walk anymore? Do goats go early with quints like people do?

Yes she is up and walking, and still queen of the herd doing her queenly bossing.

Poor thing, with 3 more weeks to go she's going to be waddling around! I bet there's at least triplets in there but probably quads.

Some girls just like to have their own herd...as the queen she probably doesn't like mixing with all the riff raff and has decided to surround herself with only quality animals like herself...I'll guess a new record here...SIX!

Well, the good thing with multiples is... you probably don't have to worry about them being too big and getting stuck!

I'll be watching for your new herd of kids in about 3 weeks...

I am super excited that she will be 140 days tomorrow. I would consider that full term. She absolutely looks as if she may burst at the seams. Poor momma has taken to waddling around on her stubby legs and rubbing herself on sticks and rocks as she can no longer reach around to scratch herself. Somehow she still manages the four steps to get outside and bask like a "toad" in the sun today. We have a big storm coming Wednesday, so I am hoping she kids before then. Fingers crossed.
