And the waiting continues BUT... we think Garlic (first photo) MAY be in the first stages which MIGHT mean kids later tonight or tomorrow. She is spending a lot of time under their platform, she is a little damp at her back end and she has been lying on her side a lot!!!!
We are monitoring her every hour at the moment!
Meanwhile Onion, second photo, is pictured enjoying a back massage. Pygmy goats are very tactile and love to be touched and over the years, we have found that a good back massage when they are pregnant is always appreciated. Onion stood very still, her eyes glazed over and then when Jack stopped, she nudged her hand as if to say: "Oy, it's not time to stop yet thank you..."
IF there is any news later, we will update the diary again!!!!
UPDATE 11pm: And here is our first arrival - meet Mushroom, daughter of Garlic, born at approximately 7.45pm this evening - full details can be found in the Kidding 2015 section.
