In your opinion does she have days or weeks left?

If you see thick, white mucous, that is her plug. In that case, she could still hold on to her hostages for days. When you see clear, amber streaming mucous, Get Ready, Get Set, and GO!

I just put Quizzie (Nehi Minis Exc-Del Exquisite) in the kidding pen a few minutes ago, with a bucket of water (suspended above the floor so no babies can fall into it) and a hay bag.

She gave me some clues this morning:

1. Hanging by herself away from the herd.
2. Extra lovey-dovey, and doesn't want me to leave her.
3. Tail is really cocked, and ligaments are gone.

You can see the hollowness around her tail where the ligaments would normally be. No mucous yet, but she is not a first-timer. She could also be fooling me and do nothing today!

Oh, you must be going crazy. Has she shown any mucous at all yet?
