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

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 ❤

We ended up with twins! The dark one is a little girl the light is a boy!

Oh they are gorgeous! Congratulations. We have 4 goats but only 1 pygymy. He rules them all.

Yeah my pygmies rule the farm here too. We mostly have pygmies now but we use to have a lot of big fainting goats and the pygmy goes bullies them around and they were half the size

Wonderful! They are gorgeous ❤


So glad to hear they are doing well! Are they the first babies of the momma?
Great you figured out how they can nurse on their mom's kind of special udder and that you and your husband are taking such amazing care!

Yes these should be her first babies.

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.
