I am creating this thread so everyone can see the progress of the two does that my family and I rescued/bought. My mother works at a vet clinic and had bought my sister and I two pregnant does from a client. They were not in the best condition, nor did they have the best living circumstances, which is why we got two instead of one. Mamma is the big white one, she is less nervous than Tinker Belle/Minnie (We are still trying to figure out a name for her), and is due any time to have her kids. She came to us with an injured leg from her attempt to get in with a buck. We have been applying medicine to it and making her as comfortable and stress free as possible while she is pregnant still. She is definitely the boss, as she head butts both Tinker Belle and our Nigerian dwarf whether Oreo. Tinker belle is very skiddish of everyone, and still has yet to become comfortable with us. She is expected to be one month bred, and we are hoping that by kidding time she will have come to trust us. She came to us with a runny nose and a cough, after antibiotics she is getting better. As their pregnancies progress, I will keep updated pictures on here and let everyone follow along if they would like. Right now, I am wondering if Mamma has begun to go into labor with the signs she is showing, but I am not sure if it is due to other things, as they are the first two pregnant does that we have done in our goat career. I hope everything goes well with their pregnancies, and hopefully we will get healthy and beautiful kids out of the both of them. 
I assume that the buck (or bucks) they are bred to is a Nigerian Dwarf?
