Thank you! I will check out the websites when my parents get home. This is our fisrt time and my baby happened to be the first one everyone wanted pregnant, it has been pretty nerve racking for me. Does she look pregnant to in the pics?All of these should answer your question here and many more that you'll have. Selenium is necessary, yes, but highly toxic in even small overdoses, so I highly recommend you 'do your homework' before using it.
Best wishes.
Just wanted to add that this is the man we beleive to be the culprit. I say that because we have two bucks, but i don't think the second was mature yet as he is younger. Levi (the buck above) Has blue eyes in his genes and v has blue eyes. Does anyone know if it is a possibility to get an all white blue eyed baby here?
They can reproduce as young as 3 months old, so maturity has very little to do with it. In some cases bucks that are still not weaned have gotten their own mothers pregnant. :/
Those sites I gave you some links to will have info on goat genetics, I know next to nothing about them at the moment, sorry. I doubt you'll get an all-white bub here, with both parents being colored, I haven't seen that result just pop up out of colored parents before, but hey, I don't know much about goat genetics.
Best wishes.
Thanks a million! She wasn't very big at first so i was like nah shes probably not pregnant and then she gained a whole lot a weight which i guess happens when they getting closer to kidding. Thanks again for your help!Yes, she does look preggly to me.
So, today we switched the Bucks and the Does. We put the Does in on the Bucks side and moved the Whether in with the Bucks. When we did this the boys and the girls were together for about a minute. Who do all the boys jump on? Bella, the Doe we didn't breed. I'm taking this as a sign that the Bucks can tell V is bred and aren't jumping on her because of that. Also my mom picked up some supplements for them today, it says to mix in two pounds with regular grain. Should mix less and get to two pounds gradually or just do the two pounds? Thanks.

No udder development, though Ive read that's not all that uncommon for them wait until right before or after they kid. She was with Mr. Trouble there for a long time maybe even a month maybe because my dad wanted to be positive that it took. If you mean when i separated the whether from the females that was yesterday. If you are asking the date we moved the doe away from the buck, as i said its hard to say, i can say that she got really irritated with those last few weeks or so for keeping her in there, but dad kept saying "just a few more weeks" i suppose this was because he didn't see any pregnancy development. V is around a little year old, we didn't breed her till the previous owner said she would be mature to do so, i believe she said 8-9 months old but i think we waited till about 12? Like i said because she was in for so long and i didn't watch the deed happen its a guessing game in a lot of areas unfortunately. No she has never kidded this would be her first time, I've noticed a drastic change in her, and well as how the others are with. Bella, her twin sis will wait until V is done eating before she does as before they just fought, however her very loving protective whether friend who has lived with her since birth seems to want to kill her now, butting her very sharply and ( to me looks very painful ) when she gets to close to him or Bella. She is very protective not wanting anyone to get near her stomach which for her is incredibly out a character. I've seen a bit of pawing a lot of lying down and her "area" is looking bigger. Sorry for the long post, help is appreciated.
