Hi, first post. I’m hoping posting here will help! My goat has this mucus stuff coming out of her and has been looking pregnant since we got her a few months ago. Is she going into labor? What do I do?

She's bagged...I'd say she'll kid soon. Between a couple hrs or couple weeks. 🤣. If the mucus turns pink, it'll be soon. Looking at her sides, she'll have 2-4.…..prob trips.

Most often, they kid just fine without help. Amazing!!! Keep a watch and let us know what's happening.

Hey asking again, apologies! I noticed red- bloody color or pink. So does that mean it’s soon?

Is she tied on a rope? Do you have a pen to put her in? If she is giving birth, a rope will make it much harder on her.
We just put her into a pen a few hours ago, dw! At first I put her on a couple feet of rope so she can choose where to nest but where she chose wasn’t safe. Which, we put her in her stall with bedding
