Newton as of this afternoon has taken to sitting in her she'd and yelling at anyone and everything including our chickens. Her utter has developed nicely her stomach has dropped and her hips (under her 3 inches of hair) are protruding. And there is signs of something dried on the end of her teats (my dad says it's colostrum ) and has shown pretty much every other sign in the book... any final signs anyone has noticed in their flock? Do different breeds show different signs?

The last and final sign that I usually see is an amber goo discharge and then they start pawing the ground. Sometimes the other way around. The getting vocal part is only some of my goats, not all of them do that.

With all those signs I would assume she would be kidding soon. At this point I check on them every few (3-7) hours until I see the amber discharge. Then I check on them every hour or so. (ETA: This is what I do and I haven't missed a kidding, others may have different experiences) Be sure to let us know when she kids!

I will lol. Hope to catch it as soon as it happens since she's an FF I'm a little worried about how she will take to the baby (ies).
