Enya's Kidding Thread** New Pics & Names <3!!!**

[jerebear7]

I have Enya in her kidding pen. I was going to let her out today but won't until later when it warms up. She won't eat when she's in the kidding pen. Do I need to worry about that at all? She has grain & hay available & won't touch it.

I am keeping Spotz in her kidding pen today (i'll be gone all day), her udder seems firmer, and one of our other doe's is in heat, and she is MEAN when she's in heat..lol..and i don't want her hurting Spotz. but Spotz wouldn't really eat her grain very fast last night, I gave her some this morning and she didn't eat it yet. also i think it was 20kids that said it was normal when i asked yesterday! hopefully Enya will pop those babies out soon for you! does she still have her ligaments and such? Spotz's are soft, but definately still there.

I think I can still feel her ligs. But there is a marked difference in the way her rear looks. She is definitely more sunken in around her hip bones & her belly looks quite a bit smaller (I'm guessing babies moving into position for birth?) Udder has been a large size all along so it's not the best indicator for her I guess. Maybe what I thought were contractions the other day was the movement of the babies into position & her uterus getting ready for birthing. I just let her out with the girls so she would eat & she did eat, but she was picking at it instead of her usual inhaling. Here's hoping Enya & Spotz both get those babies out soon!!!

I just knew she would have those babies by now. All I can tell you is that for a couple of days I could feel one of Millie's ligaments. The other would be gone. Then on Monday morning they were both gone, she was eating normal and acting normal. When I came home from work she ate a little and those ligaments were definitely gone. She had her baby at 8:40 PM. No goo or anything. I went inside at 8:00 to warm up and when I went back at 8:35 she was screaming her head off.

Good luck!

The only sure sign I have seen with all my does is that regardless of ligaments, sunken belly , goop, etc., the only real indication of birth is the firm, much larger udder usually within a day of kidding. When I see that, I know it's going to happen very soon. Only then do I let myself get super excited!!

Thank you. That gives me a little hope. Except I'm pretty sure I can still feel the ligaments.

Thanks except her udder just gets firmer & larger every day. I wish I could tell by that it seems like an easy way to tell. Maybe it just seems firmer & larger & I haven't seen a true "pop" yet. Maybe I will know it when I see it??

the sure wat I noticed they were going to kid was, for Apache was going to kid was opening opening the door and seeing the kid and for Caramel was her in the act of pushing and seeing a bubble

You know it when you see it. But if you miss it, you will know she is kidding when the baby is coming out the back.
