  • Mine went this year at 146, 145, and 143. This year I'm curious to see if they kid on the exact same day again. Then I have 3 FFs this year so it will be interesting to see if they kid on the same days their mamas do. 

  • My two always go on day 147. So far. Now that I've said that, the next one will go very early or very late.

  • That's pretty funny -- 147 is the average for NDs. Almost every one of my does kids at 147 +/- 2 days. Maybe one out of ten does will kid outside that window. In 12 years I've only had 2 does kid after 150 days. Standard goats tend to go longer. It's not unusual to hear about them going 155 days.

  • 150 days is the gestation time for Nigerians. It's not *as* common for them to go over that, but it is common for them to kid any time around day 145 up to 150.
