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

This is her stall

Things move pretty quickly if you leave her be...don't hover or she will slow labor. Once they start coming, she'll move along quickly. So, watch "from afar"...

If she's kidded before she could be finished in a couple hrs. Midnightish you'll have kids or real close to it. 🥰

Thank you, I’m so nervous about it being quick though. Her last batch was stillborn bc they weren’t helped in time. But one pulled through!

So if everything works out, I’ll post them and I’ve named them Thanksgiving, turkey and yams

If she has difficulty you help. But last ones stillborn, they are usually expired before birth, not during. Once she's pushing, they should come out within a few minutes...then another normally 5-15 min, etc. hoping for good results. Be sure bag rips off head quickly after coming out. Usually that will break as they are coming out. If not, break it open soon as it delivers. Mom will clean and lick them but, if another comes quick, be ready to wipe face & nose of first so it can breathe.

Thank you so much for your help. I’ve never once seen birth of any kind in real life, nor have I helped. But now I feel much more prepared. I think she has 8 hours left max. But I saw pink, so it might be sooner

Adding onto this. She’s due in 8hrs as stated so around 2am PST. I will stay up till then and check on her

Get some clean towels, if mom needs help cleaning them up. The towel rubbing will stimulate them to breathe. Only help if mom gets overwhelmed. Mom needs to lick them to bond to them.

SHE HAD ONE BABY SO FAR!

Does anyone know what that is? It isn’t clear, and it has stuff on it. It almost looks like a stomach or something. Should I go out and feel it?
