Is my goat going to give birth? What is this? (Urgent, new goat owner)

Usually longer but, pretty much. The white spot, pointy, just coming out, is that soft tissue to touch, or hard? Tiny hoof hard?

Soft but some is hard. Just a little circle is hard. Upper part is squishy

If she's only having the one, she'll push this on out within next few minutes. That's good. Looks like a single 😊. She sure had a big tummy for that ! 🤣

Kid is a cutie and appears a duplicate of mom 🥰

Now, be sure baby nurses. Colostrum is critical. Hey, you did great! Congrats.

Bad news. My little Neptune will not be with me this life, as she was stillborn.
We buried her in a close and beautiful spot, and mama never saw her baby.

My Bambi is doing well so far

😔Sounds like another kid arrived, stillborn. I'm so very sorry. At least the one survived. Sounds like this doe isn't one you want to breed anymore. This & last kidding had issues for her. Sad. Hoping the remaining kid does well. I've lost some, it's a sad, hard part of breeding. 🫂😢

Congratulations on the one kid. Sometimes things go wrong in birthing and you lose the babies. It is a sad fact of raising animals. So enjoy this baby, you just learned something valuable and you did good.

Is kid boy or girl?

Agreed, I do not wish to breed her, I want to give her a lifetime of freedom and band the male asap. He’s big though, very big. So hopefully that won’t be too hard. Thank you, I’ll make sure Bambi does amazing. Speaking of which, here’s my beautiful boy all dry with his mama named Dutch! We brought them inside bc it was too cold outside

I think a boy, but I don’t know how to look

Check his rear end...poop hole only & feel between hind legs for tiny balls bump. Girl, poop hole, just below a 2nd hole with a tiny v on low end. 🤣 Graphic description but, we're clear here.

Assuming one you're going to band is daddy? Ask your breeder you got this one from to band for you -- if close by. She's got the equipment, more than likely. I know I sure do! 😌 Save you buying for 1x use.

I’ll definitely ask her, she should be coming by today
And I’ll try again, and let you know!

Wanted a girl, but a boy is just fine
