Congrats on the does!

The first question has to be was the male really a wether? If the male was indeed intact and the two does never settled (got pregnant) then watch your does for a couple months to see if they go into heat... lots of tail flagging and hollering "Oh boys!".

If no luck seeing a heat then chat with your goat knowing Vet.

Are the does the right weight? A chubby doe can have a difficult time getting prego. If your Vet thinks the does are at a good weight, seem healthy, fecals are clear then consider using a drug to provoke a heat.

Got a buck to breed them to? Provided that is your intention: to breed.

By the way, you really, I mean really, can't tell us you got new animals and not include an introduction picture. Hint hint HINT. Please and thank you.

Those goats either have some abnormally large bellies or they are bred.

I'd ask the vet about pulling a blood sample to send it for a pregnancy check or get an ultrasound done.

They just ate a lot of hay before I took the picture there not that big all the time I'll get a pic of them before they eat all kind of hay
I'll see when my vet can come or I'll bring them to her office is it ok if she's 1.5 hrs away from me she's the only vet that sees goats
