Do goats, like pigs, also like to kid during late nights or early mornings? Or do they just kid whenever?

My guess is 10 kids. I didn’t see anyone else guess but I skimmed quickly.

 

[BigBlueHen53]

Yep.

Thanks. I’m still torn between sending sil a message going wtf or giving mil a wtf as well…

so they may kid tonight?

They can kid any time now.

Don't the babies get real still before birth? Human babies do. Maybe they are jostling for position, trying to sort out legs and necks, knees and toes. So they don't come out all tangled.

Supposedly, but a lot of things can happen overnight. I have two with their tails curled over. And two had discharge last night. And Windy has loose ligaments. I bet she kids first.

Such a pretty goat!

Thank you, that's Misty. Momma doesn't keep ugly goats!

Whenever they feel the urge. I tried to set my alarm last night and laid on the sofa for a couple hours. Slept right through the alarm. Woke up at 5. Checked goats. Back to sleep, hubby checked goats around 9. Let them out. I gave them lunch around noon. All of them ate.

Got the gate up on the first pen. Still need a feed bin and hay rack, and heat lamp box. Better get back to work!
