I'm having a hard time with this because their comb and waddles don't turn red.... I'm going by comb size and shank size but I think this breed will keep us guessing until that 12ish week mark.

Yes, they are labeling them incorrectly thinking they were Rustic Ramblers. That's them!!

Mystery solved!! Awesome!

I thank you so very much for your response!!

Definitely a very strange combo. I messaged Hoover's and they acted like they had no idea what I was talking about...but, I think you're right, I believe these are what's labeled now as a Mystic Onyx.

So....I purchased 4 "Southern Ramblers" today at TSC. The woman helping me was very kind but confused thinking they were Rustic Ramblers. What are these 5 toed, clean shanked, all black cuties??!! Has anyone tried contacting Hoover's to find out?

What exactly is a Southern Rambler? I just bought a few. I see 5 toes and black skin but not bantam and not silkied.

Both of my goats ended up being open. We had sonograms done on Oct 30th...no babies :-(. They are both back to the breeders now.

Just curious how this ended haha was she bred? My doe has very similar thing going on back there lol

That's a good idea!!! I'll do it now!

That's actually a huge relief to hear. I'm just so nervous that she's further along than I realize and that I'm going to overlook giving her some care that she may need. She def has had a noticeable change in her appetite.

Yes, and she does feel different in front of her utter than her sister

I called the vet today and unfortunately, he doesn't have one... and i don't know how to draw blood. I may just have to be patient but I want to be sure I tend to her extra closely if she is because she's so young still.

She will be 5 months old next week, she still very young...i think that's what makes me nervous. I feel movement on her right side sometimes but then I wonder if its just digestion or a muscle moving/twitching haha

Hello friends! I'm very new to keeping goats. I bought my first 2 alpine/nubian almost 5 month old doelings about 2 weeks ago. I began to notice 1 of the doelings was growing in the belly area and the area near her utter area began looking puffed up as well. I spoke to the original owner and...
