Thanks for the input, I feel like I can relax a little bit! Sillystunt - yes I am on backyardherds did you get your goat?

Thanks for the reply! It's amazing how big her udder is getting, today her teats were twice the size they were and my other goats were trying to nurse from her ( our puppy had a lick too ) I wish I knew for sure when she will go - it's tormenting!

Hi, I am hoping to lean on some goat experts here. Here is the back story, I bought this goat in early Feb, she was already pregnant and actually had kidded about six weeks previous and it died. Her previous owners didn't seem to care much and ran her with the bucks right after. It seems...

hmmm from what her previous owner told me (and he is not a reliable source) she was bred first at 2/3 months and had her kid early but again she could be older. She always seemed older to me. I will try to get some pics up later today. She seems more like herself today just hanging out eating...

I spend the evening out there just watching her. I believe she may be having some twinges but she has not lost her plug though it looks like her ligaments are gone. Her udder has filled quite a bit but I wouldn't call it tight. So this poor girl is a tragic story when I got her she was...

Thank you all so much for your advice. I am so concerned about her, she is so sweet and it's such a shame she wasn't cared for properly. She seems so much happier already and we only have her a week! I never thought I could feel so much affection for livestock but I LOVE my goats!

Hey all goat experts, I am new to goats, we just recently bought 2 bucks (bottle babies) and a doe who was born on 08/08 After we had bought our doe sprinkle the previous owner told us she had recently given birth and the kid was still born. She is naturally polled and he bred her with...

Hi, So my Barred Rock just recently started laying (had been for awhile in a wood pile and I discovered that thanks to you guys!) and as they free range I wanted to encourage laying in the coop so I put a golf ball in a nest. Today the ball was on the coop floor and when I went in my BR...

I have heard lots of references to your chickens doing 'the squat' - can someone please explain what that looks like? Also is there any other laying behaviors that chickens have before getting ready to drop an egg? Can you tell I'm egg anxious? thanks Sabrina

Thanks for the advice!! Seems I have to let him know who is boss!
