I thought her lady parts looked a bit swollen earlier, but then they went back to normalish... She's laying in a corner with her head out the pop door. I need to get a kennel ready for the boys to move into if I catch her in the act...

It's going to have to be. Short of locking them in the pasture (no shelter) there's no where else they can go. They're big, but still babies. Like a cranky cocker spaniel momma with a 4-month lab puppy. I might try to drag the BIG kennel over for the boys? With a tarp on top?

It's my dream to help with a live birth with larger stock. I'm so excited. I hope camping catches all the pictures.

I guess if she was in the flock in a pasture she would have others? Her last kids dropped in the pasture in a cold rain (December) with a Shetland pony for company. There were lots of other goats with her then.

I'm taking deep breaths. It'll be fine or it won't.

shoot I dont know. can you put them on a short leash in there overnight ? without a chance of them hanging themselves ? I would feel awful if that happened. Of course that wouldnt stop babies from going over there to them.

I'm sure they will be fine I'm out y'all be BLESSED

well, I guess its ok to leave them together.

Papa sure doesn't linger for long goodbyes.

No he dont ! hahaaa

Camping, do you have any tire swings? A friend of mine ties small livestock to one, and it works great. They can't tangle themselves up!
