Doe getting closer to kidding but with who?

Hey, y'all I'm new but I figured I'd just jump right in. My doe is now showing signs that she's getting closer to kidding, but the strange thing is that she shouldn't be due till the 26. There is a chance she was bred to a buck kid, but it was not intentional. I borrowed my friend's back on January 1st. And even if she happened to be bred that first day she still wouldn't be due till the 26. There's also a possibility that the kids died. Her udder has filled up with colostrum over the period of 2 days. Her ligaments are getting squishy and she's been pawing at the ground more I've also noticed that her back end is looking rather puffy. I would love to know all your opinions.

Definitely could be due sooner then you thought if she lived with a buckling. She may just be getting closer. Some of my does will get all loose and everything a couple weeks before kidding.


Why would you say there's a possibility the kids are dead?

She may of been bred a bit sooner.
But hard to really say. Even if she is due on the 23rd, does bodies do a lot of changing and preparing for kidding.
Vulva’s get poofy the last month of pregnancy, udders should be filling.
They have discharged and their ligs do soften at this point.

Is her udder super tight?

Can you get pics of her side view and her rear area, tail up naturally with her vulva and udder showing?

I'm not sure it's just always a possibility there may be a still kid she definitely has multiple it's just what someone else was giving out for different reasons.
