Yeay, udder developement!
Does squat like that to let the kids nurse easier. Some squat like that when you milk them also.
Just check her ligs every day, and if she doesn't mind you touching her udder, then feel that also, just to get you used to each other! Once the ligs are gone, you'll know.

Yeah I am keeping a close eye, and checking her
She has been acting a bit differently lately. My once shy girl has turned into a tyrant! Mostly over food- she is suddenly very dominant over the other two girls and not a bit shy about it.
No real bullying or fights just "All the foods are for meeeee!" I've set up multiple hay feeders to make sure everyone is getting enough. It's funny to notice them playing musical chairs of sorts with the hay bins.
She has also gotten touchy about me touching her.
Must be hormones. I laughed and said at this rate, if she doesn't kid soon, she will turn into a pregnant goatzilla!
