They had been together for only two days. Sometimes it’s hard to find good information, so I do what I can.
The way to determine when she is due is dependent on knowing when she was bred. She is pregnant and stops milking. Her tummy is getting bigger and I can see the kid(s) moving around in there….but her bags have yet to start filling up and she is showing no signs at all! I’m guessing people want to know what changes take place in their doe that would help them know if she’s bred and how much longer until she’s due.That’s tough.
If i am doing the math correctly shell be due to kid sometime in middle of october?That math sounds correct. Thanks again for the site!Glad you’ve found this information useful!
On seeing him and being reminded of my baby, Blaze I couldn’t resist taking him as well.
If she is how far would you expecther to be. I have to borrow a trailer to get her to a vet.I meant to say her belly has swollen, but seems to have stopped.It’s hard to say. Do you have any other pointers for those that might be new to goats? )I’ve only found three ways to tell if your goat is pregnant:The first is by waiting.
I also have one polled doe that is a freemartin. All of this is from Fern an Flower is still only a kid. I’m wondering is this a good indication that she will be having kids? This one though has me stumped she seems to be a week past due ( guestimated , we did not intentionally breed her )nothing yet but over the last few days she has gone from barrel to slim and really low but has not shown any signs of labor today she looks like she did the day after her doeling was born .
She started aborting around the 1st of March and we were shocked because she was suppose to be open. Momma goat is tired but not in distress.I have a goat that bred approximately the last week of May or 1st week in June. I also catch her in funny positions on the ground scratching her belly. She still goes out to the pasture & eats.
it all seems to be fairly gentle and just horn to horn, nobody is getting butted in the bellies, and other than the butts they eat next to each other and seem to get along fine.Headbutting can increase with hormones. Confinement for winter can increase it as well.
This is very common as labor is a painful process.The process of birthing a kid isn’t very long. With the shorter daylight hours we have been shutting them in earlier and letting them out later. there are no other goats around us for miles but there are rams. I hardly ever respond in absolutes because it’s almost impossible to be definite about a goat that I don’t see and know well.
My goat is starting to pop out on both sides, some days more to one side. She will follow me like a dog and come when I call her.
Many thanksIt depends on her age. Sometimes you can tell that she will kid soon when you see a hollow on either side of the tail. But I also don’t feel any movement. Sorry I forgot to mention, Blaze is pregnant, would I need to get a mediator before the kids are born?I have no idea. ?If you’ve had a the experience of a pregnant goat before, I’m not sure what information you want. Feel free to contact me to purchase a print or discuss a licensing agreement.
First one did not deliver very large still born. My pygmy goat had triplets early this morning. Nice pictures I have two Nigerian dwarf does one due in February and one any day now. I do think it’s getting a bit easier though.Can I ask, do you ever have trouble with your goats having thier horns? It’s very dependent on individual personality.Thank you so much.
If she is naturally polled, about 50% of her babies will be because polled is the dominant trait.Actually, I got to thinking, and the freemartin is not because of being polled. It happens to all of us when we’ve reached the final trimester. La Mancha Goats First Exibited At World's Fair Labeled Simply "La Mancha, Cordoba, Spain" Jan 31, 1920. Thank you. Try to keep close in case she needs help.
They weren’t little kids either. Keep in mind, the doe will only be in heat for a day or so every three weeks, so it might take a bit longer before she gets bred.Hello, your information is very useful. This information does not represent the management practices or thinking of other goat breeders or the veterinary community. Oh, I do! But he had no idea how far along she was.
I’m really worried for her. I can feel them moving around. It’s also possible that she is producing milk. And last week or two could feel her udder developing and a roundness just anterior to the udder. It could be that she aborted, or she could be close to kidding. They are due soon.
Can a doe hav miscariage if been meted during few weeks or days of pregnancy?I’m not sure what information you are asking for, but I’m going to try to answer.
Several weeks ago the sheep had to be moved and Blaze found herself alone, I quickly realized that dull isolation was cruel and began to search for a companion for her.
my goat is pregnant and something come out at her lo0ks like a bag with i cnt explain but n0 baby…i cant find my goats baby… she is untied and let her out to eat then when i came to fetch her found sumthing came out her like a bag of afterbirth but theres no baby tobe found… did she already gave birth? Can’t hardly stand it! Around here, we refer to it as “watching paint dry.”I have a female and a male goat, that have been together since we got them, they are a small sized goat.
swelling has gone down in her v area but no noise not bleating, stretching, no signs of labor ligaments are softening ….
