I have one doe due March 8th & 2 in mid-late April so im on the list sort of lol.

What I do is get a code through tiny pic. You select which you want, choose the size (I choose message board), type the check code, & when its done loading it gives 4 types of codes. Cut or copy the one for forums & message boards & post it. You dont need to click the Img button because that...

Lol id say a bit of both & gratz! She is very pretty :). Just as an FYI though if she is pygmy she is only part. Still a handsome lil thing of course ;). Do you happen to have a due date on her? Hopefully she will be much more obvious than your other doe lol.

Sorry she is still holding out on you! Any chance of side shots when you have a moment?

Update?

Welcome to my world lol! I stress & stress...& stress & frequently check my does & get excited over that stuff to lol :P. I admit im a worrier :rolleyes:. Anyways congrats on finding the ligs! If you only find one its probably just her ;). Keep practicing :D.

How many other goats do you have total? Your sig says 3, if thats the case & the others, including mr pita buck, are friendly catch them & feel for ligs on them. If you have a doe your having trouble with this can show what should be there ;). Like I posted earlier some have easier ligs than...

Id always heard that difference between line & inbreeding is that line refers to breeding goats or any animal for the matter that both go back to one or more relatives in so many generations (lets say 4). When you go more than so many generations back a common relative isnt, or rather shouldnt...

Ive heard a couple of arguments on this one. Im not possitive on what the genetic "safe zone" would be though. When issues arise from linebreeding its not because the close genetics create mutations, but rather it happens because the genes are so close they can bring out bad traits that havent...

Sorry to lol at your misery OP, but the whole thing is pretty funny especially the "its mine!" bit xD. As for the buck & your hubby call me awful, but im all for locking both of them both in the garage till the doe kids ;) :cool:. Now in all seriousness do you have a quiet place you could move...

Congrats on both accounts!!! Hopefully tonight is the night! What color is the mucus? Must be a good year for all bucks to go into breeding mode early. My 2 adults started calling a few days ago. Granted I find the "old man yelling" noises oh so amusing, but one of them keeps snorting...

No problem :D. Keep us updated please. Also as a side note since you started this thread its your sworn duty to post pics ;). What bucks does the person you got her from have? Are they all pygmies or does she have a variety? Why is it a good thing she isnt a camel?? Yep, goats can be SUPER...

As a fellow pygmy person hi! Most does of any breed know the code well lol. Each doe is different & even each kidding can be different. The same applies to ligs unfortunately. If you can catch her keep practicing. If all you feel is the pin bones your fingers are probably too far out though...

If I had to guess Id say not bred & maybe bred if she is carrying a single, but since there is no real development in either doe dont quote me on it. Try placing your palm against the upper belly behind the ribs on the right side (if your using your legs as a stanchion the left side) of each...

Well im not going to be any help seeing as she is playing lig tricks with you, but I was going to mention (& as far as I know they havent been tested on goats yet), but I believe Mare Stare has some type of PH test strips you can buy for around $13. They are intended for horses, but basically...

If you have a decent sized pen & places for Jr to hide I wouldnt worry as much. If not id keep them seperate.

:fl She goes soon for you! I cant provide any helpful comments, but on a funny note I have a doe that hiccups when early labor starts :lol:. Who knew lol?

:hugs

:hugs Sorry you lost the kid. Glad Presley is OK though. I know nothing about snares & stick to good old fashioned pulling by hand lol, but it sounds like you did everything right! The only other thing I would have tried after no progress was to pull the kid with only one leg forward. I just...

X3. So far it sounds like a fluke. I dont retire does for something like that unless their structure affects kidding ease & i didnt realize it before or they get c sectioned. Id definitely try again after some recooperation time ;). If it was premi could another goat have smacked her to cause an...
