I see you posted almost an hour ago. If those pics were shortly before, I should think kids are here. Looks pretty light outside in pics for almost 11PM! Where are you?

Hope all is well. I will assume the buck is NOT in pen where she is kidding. Right?

Pwr was out for 2 hours and just came back on... Ummm yeah, that's almost definitely very hard contractions from those pics. If kids are not on the ground by now, you had best glove up and go after them. If they haven't come out by now there's a better than even chance they are breach or otherwise misrepresenting. Hope she was able to get them babies out of the oven, or you were able to assist her in doing so. Hoping for live kid pics! :fl:caf:pop

This is how she was standing this morning when she woke up she got up ate a little and pooped and then would take a few steps and kinda squat like she had to pee and I never seen her do that with her tail where its curled all the way against her spine

I'm just going to come out and say it - I'm worried about your doe. Have you gone back and done another internal exam? You need to find out what's going on in there. The hormones that cause the ligaments to soften and "disappear" are the same hormones that cause the onset of labor and that process is not supposed to take 3 or 4 days.

I hope I'm over-reacting and everything is normal but my nearly 30 years of experience with goats are screaming at me that there's a problem.

At this point, from what I see & read, there are pretty much two situations. ONE she is in trouble. TWO, she is having pre-labor in a weird way -- may be they are repositiong in there & the pressure puts her natural instinct to push in gear. Is there a bad odor to the mucus ?

Hoping this has a good outcome. You have a reason for concern. Normally mine are mucus and down to business, delivering within a couple hours. Rarely mucus more than 24 hrs prior, especially colored.

Now, my mini horses have had some "labor looking" days when the foal was moving into position for delivery in a couple weeks. My goats, rarely more than looking at sides and being restless.
