  1. Kidding Koral
    Hello, My doe (of whom has kidded 4 times previously; one of which was with me) is showing all the signs of labor. hook tail, secluding herself, itching her tummy, yawning, nesting. But, it seems as though her ligaments will not soften. They have slowly sagged over the past few days creating a...

    I am new to goats within the last year, this will be my first kidding season. I have a ND goat that was bred multiple times September 30th and then went into heat again October 20th and again, was bred by the buck multiple times. Since then we've had a different buck around for my Nubian does...

    Just kind of coming on here to vent, really crazy morning today. Was feeding everyone and one of our does due to kid went into labor. Everything seemed normal like the last time until the kid started presenting (face and one hoof out). She was pushing and pushing and howling and screaming...

    Hello, Our Nigerian dwarf goat just gave birth to a single kid, and unfortunately the kid passed about 24 hours after birth. The mum is alright. We've milked her out twice now, and wondering if she'll stop producing milk herself? Do we have to continue milking, and if so, for how long...

    Shew! This has got to be the latest I've ever posted a kidding thread. To say I'm busy would be an understatement, but I finally jammed in time to take some pictures of everyone so that I could post this thread. I'm probably going to share the link to this page with the people on my wish list...

    Hello hello! I was just wondering if anybody else breeds some of their does for kidding twice in the same year? I usually only try to kid in mid-spring (& a little later for my FFs), but a couple of my bigger ladies have maintained condition so well that I feared they would get overly fat if I...

    It’s about that time of year again… breeding is just around the corner! I cannot believe this is my third year in a row creating a kidding thread, time seems to fly so fast.

  11. Kidding Koral
    Hello! Can anybody tell if she’s pregnant or not? We thought at first she was just bloated because of the lack of a milk sack but now we believe she’s pregnant. She’s been lying around a lot but hasn’t developed much of a milk sack. She’s not really sunken in around her ligaments either but has...

    Update to my problematic 2yr old doe that the vets insisted doing a needless and invasive surgery on, instead of any hormone therapy. (insane right?) The doe hunched constantly (caught her doing it today) and she acted as if she would go into heat every 5days, flagging her tail away -- she's...
