Hey folks! I'm not sure if anyone is following the "ticker" on the sidebar for May's due date but if you have (and probably now, if you haven't) noticed that it isn't counting down anymore that is for a very good reason. We've officially flown past her due date. Today marks the sixth day since she was due to kid. I've sent a note to our breeder to ask for advice. I know it is common enough for goats to kid up to five days early or five days late- but I didn't really think we'd make it this far along. She still has her tiny udder and her tail ligaments are solid as can be. I keep expecting to go out each morning to find a new kid in the barn but nothing yet. I've read that it is possible for does to create an udder without being pregnant, but I just think the timing is too perfect for it to be this. She started her udder exactly when she should have for a pregnant doe getting into her last month of gestation. So, nothing we can do now but keep waiting...
so maybe she was jealous of Chutney and decided to pretend???
