How long?

It looks to me like she already kidded. :/ You sure she hasn't?

I would like to see a picture of her a little further away, so I can see her belly and sides better. And one with her back legs. Good luck, hope it is going well.

Thanks guys. I'll get a new pic today and post it. Her udders are still soft - but the baby/s are still kicking!! She is waddling like a very pregnany lady lol! One more question - my husband spent christmas day building her a lovely kidding pen - should I put her son/wether (from this spring) in with her for company. She can see/rub faces/with her herd through wooden bars so she isn't truely isolated.

thanks guys!!

I wouldn't put the wether with her, once she gets close and starts going into labor, or has the first kid, she might get mean to him, if he doesn't have enough room to stay away from her. She will protect her new kids from him.

Thanks 20 kids! She seems happy enough with them being close by even if there is a fence. We're getting really excited

Update - she kidded on Tuesday (24th). Became an emergancy c-section as she was just TOO small to pass the first kid. One survived - little doe that we've named Matilda. One passed Mother and baby are doing well!!
