Nigerian Dwarf - when will she kid? - two babies born today!

All of the above are great signs to look for. When those ligs are gone (and stay gone ... sometimes they will disappear and then pop back up), mine go into the kidding stall and on the BarnCam. Mine usually kid within 12 hours of the disappearance of the ligs. I think she may have a couple more weeks to go yet, but I'd continue to check her 2 or 3 times a day. Babies soon!

Another update today..
Sprinkle is oozing more goo from her behind and is laying down trying to stay cool in her kidding stall. It's 100 Degrees today and miserable hot!

She is still eating and drinking and I think I finally understand what you all meant by softening ligs. Its so different to feel her tail head now.

I am hopeful that today is the day!!

Here is a pic I took of her udder 2 days ago.

Wish me luck I am nervous!

Most does know what they are doing ...that is why she does not look nervous. She will do just fine!!
