These pages are
photo intense, so will take a while to download.
These pages give
you an idea of what typical, and non typical, goat births (kiddings)
may look like.

Goldie's kidding
on 2/1, 2001
This was not a
"typical" birth.
Normal kidding
behavior:
pawing at
the ground; making a "nest".
Notice the tail held erect.
Getting "serious".
She actually got up and down, and up and down,
several times after this photo was taken.
Notice
how pink and swollen she is.
But, she has no "goob" at all, and never did.
Most does do will have a mucus "plug" and/or a
long mucus "string" that you
will see.
The
"bubble" makes it's first appearance.
More
bubble.
The
bubble can aprear and disappear a few times.
The does can evern "suck" it back in.
(I
have seen whole feet come out
and then the doe "suck" them back in.)
Now
is time to look and try to see,
what we hope will be feet
(they will be white).
That
isn't feet... what do we see?
A.
a pink nose
B. a pink tongue
The
baby is not presented correctly.
She needs help.
Larry "goes in" and finds the feet.
One at a time, he brings the legs forward.
Here
she comes!
Mother
and child- both healthy and happy.
