I am so bummed. One of the Ameraucana/EE chicks I got for Buster is a cockerel.Last time I bought 2 sexed EE chicks one was a cockerel.

Does this look like labor? She's usually the first one to the door looking for treats, but she's laying down and hanging around by the pop door.
I know zero about goats, but when I saw your kidding calendar, I was going to say today, since it hadn't been taken. So yes! Looks like she is going into labor! Twins by tonight is my guess!! (cheating, I know!Also posted this at Sally's:

That's what Mike has asked, too. I haven't seen it yet. Does that happen before labor or during? Maybe she's in like a pre-labor?I know nothing about goats but does she have any type of discharge?Also posted this at Sally's: Does this look like labor?

She's not acting like herself, which might be the only warning she gives me. Of course I have to go to town, so Murphy will have them delivered by the time I get home. :/I know zero about goats, but when I saw your kidding calendar, I was going to say today, since it hadn't been taken.

I'd be a nervous wreck! At least I have 2 other chicks, EE and blue Wyandotte that are still looking girly. :/
I would think it would happen just before labor or the beginning stages of labor.
Quote: That darn Murphy! Got me too on the EE chicks.
Go into town really quick and get back so you don't miss it, just in case! I do know with horses, the fetus turns and "drops" a few days before birth, and your doe's bottom line looks lower to me. The laying down part horses do right at the beginning of labor. Up and down, up and down. It's the best sign for them.
Hi Camping, you'll see discharge before, during, and after labor. I don't have goats, but have seen or helped alot of calvings.
