Fred's Kidding Thread *Update: Graphic Kidding Pictures!

I'm hopeful that she's got more than 2 in there. Last year she barely looked pregnant. Plus she had her winter coat at that time, which made her look even fluffier. Now she's lost the coat and still looks like a house. I'm hoping for 3 gorgeous doelings with lots of color. Not that I don't love dark goats, but darnit all my goats but one are dark brown or black! The cream ones I got last year were Fred's from another sire and they were both boys, so they were sold.

Come on Fred, just a few more days (I hope!)
 
12 days till her due date...

I took her out to munch on some more weeds and eat some fruit pieces my neighbor brought for her. I think she likes being pregnant; it means extra yummies!

"Help! I'm fat and I can't get up!" No, I didn't make her get up there. She stood there like that and ate the fruit.

Moral of the story: If you ever need a fat goat to get up a hill, get some almonds.
I will need to keep this in mind...I wonder if it works with cashews....
 
It's possible that I made a mistake about Fred's due date and that day 145 has come and gone. Oh boy! She could go at any moment!
 
Recalculated it correctly this time at 4/19. Next year, I need a better calendar!
 
No, I mean, my calendar! I thought I wrote it down on one, but I ended up writing it down on another calendar that I lost. Then I had to go by memory, which is harder than it seems. Memory + Fred's still pregnant state + 145 days = April 19.
