    I thought I would as these questions before I need to know them.;) What is the best sanitization routine to go through before "going in" to help reposition kids or check on what's going on in a stalled labor? I don't have water in or anywhere near my barn, so should I take a bucket of water...

    So I have a 4 year old doe, Minnie, she has had 2 other kiddings that resulted well and had no problems. About a week ago she started showing signs of labor so we’ve kept a good eye on her, the thing I’m worried about is I don’t think it’s supposed to take over 6 days to kid! Her babies still...

  12. Kidding Koral
    I saw her on my remote camera lying on her side, back legs stretched out. I came out to check her and found this. I got her into the kidding stall and she's now pacing and licking her lips. Watching for contractions, but nothing obvious yet is this just he mucus plus, or is this the "amber goo"...

  15. Kidding Koral
    First off, I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum - if I'm not then I'm sorry! I'm just kinda of frazzled right now. I have a boer doe, this will be her second time kidding, due any day. I didn't have her ultrasounded so I don't have an exact due date but based on when I first noticed...

    I have a doe who is due next Saturday (the earliest she COULD be due is Wednesday as that would be 150 days from when she was put in with our buck).

Her sides are sunken in, ligs are mushy, she lost her mucus plug Thursday night, she's gotten puffier since then and her bag is big (but not shiny/tight). All afternoon she's just acted off, and...
