I tried to feel for them.....Im not sure. I thought I was feeling ligaments....then, it sorta felt like her butt bones.

Feel for a pair of "pencils" the go from her behind her hip bones to her spine on a diagonal. They will feel hard, like two skinny bones. Then they will suddenly disappear, and you start watching closely!

Just go out there and dig around on her back with your fingertips about an inch or two out from her spine, between her tail and her hips. When you reach the ligs, you will know it. Then explore the shape and size of the ligs, and memorize the location. She will think you are giving her a nice back massage!

I gotta stick my neck out... just in case...

What if she's not pregnant (just fat) and she has a pyo. Do goats get pyo's?

 

[justusnak]

Oh, she is preggers. I layed my hand on her right side...as I scratched her back, and felt the kids kick several times. I just dont know when she was bred....or due. :/

Thanks everyone.....I let her back out to her little yard. I had her in a stall....thinking she was ready...so now she will probably have them, in the yard! LOL
