I figured since we are only 5 weeks out from kidding that I should start a waiting thread!

Our first doe due is Hanna. She looked to have triplets or quads on her ultrasound at 45 days. Hoping it's twins or triplets lol. She had some lameness issues last year with only twins and I had to induce her. One was born dead. I'm hoping things will go smoother this year for her. I will most likely induce so she kids when I'm home in case of any issues. She is due September 13th. She is bred to Wild and these will be his first kids on the ground. She started developing an udder about 4 weeks ago.

And Wild the buck she is bred to

Coyote should also be due around the same time but not sure if she took or got bred later. Hasn't had any udder development yet but looks bred. She is also bred to Wild.

Maybe her rumen is off, give probiotics and give fortified vit B complex SQ for 3 days minimum.

Energy requirements of pregnant does are highest during the last 6 weeks of pregnancy, so I think it is too soon.

Hope she will be OK.

Do you think she may of been hit by another goat?
I see her limping on the front right?

Did you just trim her, she may have a stone bruise or has a sensitive hoof after trimming?

It is strange, I can't figure out why she is doing that, as she never did that when she was here.
Not sure, maybe feeding schedule differences, perhaps?

Have you been feeding grain throughout her pregnancy?

Moers kiko boars may be right.

I don't feed hay free choice, it is 1 x a day or less, depending on how much they waste, when the pasture is lush.
When the pasture dries off and I have to feed them, 2 x a day, but it will be 2 x a day anyway, starting the last 2 months of pregnancy and they nibble in the pasture.

I start molasses grain type, 1 month prior, 1 x a day.
It is a small amount shared among them.

Nice udder. :)
Poor girl, good advice given.
I would use a fan.

Hope she is OK.
