Is this week old baby doeling with hermaphrodite

[Nigerian goat Mimi]

I had two doelings born 4/7/26 I took this photo of the silver at one week old because I am thinking she might be a hermaphrodite. Does anyone have any idea if she is? Sorry for the whowho picture but that is the item that is in question

Probably not. I think that's within the spectrum of normal at this point.

Thank you. I certainly appreciate your response. She is a real beauty with great dairy bloodlines on both sides. Either way she will stay here.

No experience with this..... Pictures show a tiny penis inside the vulva, but I've only seen pictures. The tip that you are seeing at the tip or bottom of the vulva is normal.

Thank you for your response. I have been buckling heavily last couple of years. Last year all buckling this year the two girls and four more buckling

This year my lambing was almost perfectly split. Some years it is ram heavy, almost never ewe heavy.

I prayed to the goat gods this year for girls so at least I got 2 doelings out of 6 kids. Last year all boys.

One week old is too early to really tell if she is a hermaphrodite. If she doesn't show signs of cycling at a year old, check again. The miniature penis inside the vulva is a givewaway. Hermaphrodites will often have one or both testicles that can be felt in the groin area. The natural polling gene is related to hermaphroditism.
