Question Babette ?'s
So Babette's due date was two days ago. She seems fine, just starting to stretch her back and looks like she is positioning the kids. No show yet, but she is very puffy back there. Seems like she is starting to bag up. Her appetite is still good too!

Any guesses on how long it will be?

Absolutely none at all! lol Whenever she sees that you are invited to a nice get-together with friends would be an excellent guess. Good Luck! She is just a doll and cannot wait to see what and how many (if she has twins, I will NEVER guess numbers of kids again).

Same, same, no news. I'm letting her out during the day, back in the pen at night.

Come on, Babette! Let er rip!!! Oh, sorry, I got a little carried away... The waiting must be one of the hardest parts of having goats. Hope all goes well and she has healthy babies!

She is driving me crazy. She is very puffy right now, seems 'open' but no discharge. She's pawing the ground a little, mostly laying down. Her appetite is still good. I think she will kid today. We'll see. She is very quiet.
