We thought Bonnie might be pregnant back in early fall but she wasn't this time it's for sure. She is 10 weeks today according to when we have her breeding on video. 2 of her sisters (older does) just had babies and both of them had 3. What do y'all think?
I literally had to look twice at your first picture! It is her first. She is coming 3 years old. She was pretty stunted when I got her around 8 months old and last year I didn't have a buck in time to breed. I'm hoping for twins!
First fresheners usually don't start developing an udder until 1 - 1.5 months before their due date. That being said, I have one this year that began building hers 8 weeks after being bred. It really varies depending on the doe - some, I've heard, don't fill until 2-3 hours before birth!
How is Bonnie coming along? Sassy was acting a little off this morning. She didn't go straight to the morning hay like normal. She was more content watching my other doe and her two week old kids. Still no real udder development. Her teats are starting to elongate and thicken though.
lol well all of my does are FF so it's been interesting seeing how each of them are progressing physically and changing personality wise as they get closer. Sassy isn't due until 2/16 so we are still a ways out.
Bonnie is coming right along. Getting bigger every day. Her udder is now beginning to develop. I can feel the little bag now when I'm rubbing her down. She's much more hungry lately and more affectionate to me but not to Jax. She head Butts him anytime he comes near her.
