Pygmy goat ready to pop!!

[MissMonty]

One of our pygmy goats is ready to pop! Her udder got huge over night! Her due date is Feb 3 but with how she's acting I'm wondering if it'll be sooner!! She's really timid and scared of people or I'd feel for ligaments to get a better idea on when she'll deliver but for now I'll just keep watching

Good grief she's a round girl! I wonder how many babies are in there?

I'm guessing 3-4 based on her size. I prefer twins but we usually end up with triplets around here.

Good luck with her! I'm wanting to add pygmies sometime in the next year. Keep us up to date!

My guess is she will be giving birth soon. Keep an eye on her.

Good luck! Hopefully everything goes well for the momma and her babies

Although I bred dairy goats for decades, I never had any luck with the ligaments. As a goat gets close to kidding, the tail bone becomes very loose and may appear to rise up a bit. Another thing, the kids drop so there are hollows in the flank. However, Pygmies are so round you may not be able to see that.

Surprise, she popped earlier than I thought! She was showing no signs of active labor then an hour and a half later when my husband came home from work there was a baby on the ground, by the time he walked in and told me there was a second.

I don't think she's done yet by any means but here's pictures of the cuties so far!

Aaawww CONGRATS! Stayed it to be twins or does she have more babies? I hope everyone is doing well ❤
