I bought Miss. Oreo in first week of September, from a neighbor along with her sister Cookie from neighbor. They are 4 years old, 100% Nubian.
Oreo was put in with a buck for a month, due to kid in March. I go down to the barn yesterday afternoon and BAM she has a tight bag. So I call the girl I got her off of, and turns out her Boer buck got out for 4+ hours before they got him in. They also have 3 does starting to show signs, from that breeding when he escaped.
I am not ready for babies yet. I figured I had at least a week to prepare and get all my supplies together.
I go down this afternoon (3pm) to feed, and she is laying down, doesn't jump up when I come in the pen... she finally decides to stand and she has a bunch of white discharge (the plug ?) I feel her ligaments and they are gone. I move her into a kidding stall, and put her sister in a stall beside her. Give her hay, and some alfalfa pellets. She is being very vocal. I have checked on her 3 times since, and now she seems to have clear discharge. I can't get milk out of her bag yet... So how long do you think it will be ??
onder: Thanks!
