HELP! Goat got into Chicken Grower/finisher and possibly in labor OR Bloat?

[Rhandi74]

Anything yet? Has she drove you completely insane now. I use a baby monitor in the barn so I did not have to rush out every 30mins. It actually saved one of my does who needed assistance at 4 am. Is her udder getting bigger? My does had a lot of udder development in the last 12 hours before they kidded.

 

[Icedangel11]

Nothing yet. Though she's getting closer and closer. She's pawing ALL the time now. Not sure if I should let her out of the barn yet or not. If I can find a cheap baby monitor in the nearby shops I'll do that.

My eyes burn, I smell like goat, and I'm only half making sense on the less than six hours of sleep I was given. I'd like to take a nap and finish sleeping, but I'm worried she'll start havin them and need help.

Just to give you a taste of the quality I was light night. This was me trying to talk to a friend.

OMG YOU KNOW WOULD WOULD BE GREAT?
​

LIKE
​

You sleeping?​

MAKE A HAMMOCK. BUT FOR INSIE A HOT TUB OR POOL
​

POOMOCK.
​

It's safer then those floaty things cuse they slip out and bob everywehre.
​

But a Poomock would stay in place and has a natural curve to keep your head out.
​

You could safetly roll over in a Poomock w/o getting dumped in.
​

Cay? You need to sleep.​

We can play Shark tank tomorrow​

I tried to give my friend my phone number and couldn't remember two of the numbers. So I told her to just punch random numbers in and she'll get me eventually.

should order a pizza right now
​

You should go sleep​

And give the driver a chicken as tip

They will ilke that.
​

Go see if you have babies​

The long parts were actually me falling asleep on the keyboard. Maybe if I forward these to the goat she'll decided to have her babies.

 

[H Diamond]

Has she laid down at all and tried to actively push?

 

[H Diamond]

Anything yet? I need my baby fix again, all mine kidded in February, lol.

 

[Icedangel11]

Nothing yet. She hasn't gone down to actively push yet. *Sighs* Maybe she's gonna hang onto them another two weeks? Without knowing WHEN she was bred..

I let her outside to get some fresh air and think about her life choices.

 

[Icedangel11]

Is there anything I can do to help her along? Rub her belly or something?

 

[H Diamond]

Let nature take it's course. Now if she was laying down pushing and not getting anything done, then yes we would help. But right now she just needs her space, time to get those babies into position, etc. Has her conformation changed? Meaning has she dropped? The belly drops, the sides get sunken in in front of the hip bones, and all my does get what I call "broken tail". The rump get steeper and they hold their tail up. As a new goat mom, it's easy to mistake getting kids into position for labor. It's also not uncommon for them to go several days getting ready. You think they are ready 5 hours ago they wait 2 days. It's hard being on this end and not seeing the doe in person to know where she is in her progression.
Is she still pawing and being restless? If so, those are signs that she is getting close... we don't know how close though.

 

[Icedangel11]

auughhh.

I'm keeping her tethered to a dog line (Metal wires runs between two trees with a long chain) so I can keep an eye out on her. Getting a baby monitor to attach to her collar soon.

Also is it odd I have a milk goat whose 'adopted' me? She runs to me and bleats until I milk her every few hours despite only getting a little milk. I don't feed her grain or anything, but she's insistent I do it. And HEAVEN forbid I go inside where she can't see me. She also tries to herd me to sit with her other baby. :T

Photos and videos! She was looking a LOT more hallowed out last night. Is it possible she's regressing back to normal?
