Hey guys! I've been watching other people's waiting threads, and I was going to wait a little longer to start mine, but yesterday I felt Tillys babies kicking! It was so cool!
Tilly is a 13 month old ( she'll be 14-15 months when she kidds) Nigerian dwarf. if she got bred the first day she went in with the buck ( she was there for 2 weeks) March 27th is day 150 for her, so we are getting closer!
She's started her udder a couple weeks ago, its so cute! I'll get pictures when I can : )
At 3 days old the boy now weighs 2.15 from 2.11 and girl is 2.13 from 2.7. Are those good weight gains? I am not sure if she is feeding them except when I feed her she will stand still.
Yep I am! And we got their barn started a little bit. We have a lot of warm weather this week so hopefully we will have it done enough to give her a separate place to kidd.
She’s looking good! We’re going to be kidding about the same time. Mine are due the 26th.
I can’t wait to see Tilly’s kids, they’re going to be adorable! I’m excited for you!
I love watching the late pregnancy waddle don’t you? The girls look so wide and awkward.
Best of luck to you.
Ok dumb question. Which side is the rumen on? I've been feeling baby kicks on the lower right side, but today I clearly felt a big part of a kid moving around on the upper left side! I'm confused. When they are heavily pregnant, can the babies be on both sides?
Tillys first due date is in less than a week.
So far in my kit i have
Bottles and nipples
Probios
LA-200
Selenium/vit e gel
Iodine
Towels
Floss
Lube
Molasses
Vit b complex
Honey/cayenne
Nutri-drench
A goat friends phone number
And TGS of course.

One more question.
I have not vaccinated my herd. I believe one of my does had her shots before I got her. Do I NEED ( is it nesaasary) to CD/T the doe or babies?
I believe it is a 2 shot process? I plan to sell the babies at 8 weeks, what is the timeline of the shots? If it is a must, do I need to get the vaccine from the vet?
Today was Tillys first due date and no sign of the babies yet! She went for a nice walk this morning, and ate her dinner. Last i checked she had ligaments still, though a little soft. She had some discharge yesterday but no signs of labor today. Her udder is growing, and I can feel those babies moving around!
I really hope she goes tomorrow, my day off. Wednesday i have school, so I won't be home from 6:30 to 11:30 or so, but that's not too bad. Thursday Friday and Saturday I have to work all day, so I need her to go before then. But knowing the doe code, she'll probably have them when I don't want her to!
We finally got the fencing up in the new pasture, and tomorrow we are putting a temporary pallet shelter in there until we build the real goat shed. But at least we will have somewhere to separate them, so Tilly can have her babies in peace.
So she was the same today... no discharge, soft-ish ligaments. I think she will hold out at least a few more days. I texted my boss to give her a heads up incase she decides to go into labor right when I'm getting ready to go to work... which I know is a possibility [emoji849] doe code!!!
She technically could have a couple weeks since she was in with the buck for a couple weeks... I'm sure as soon as I give up hope she will go this week, she'll be pushin out babies [emoji38]
