First Heat

How early can a doe come into heat? I have previously heard that the earliest is around 8 weeks but has anyone heard of it occurring sooner? I have a one week old doe who is exhibiting some heat signs including vaginal discharge. Am I crazy or could she actually be in heat?? I have personally never had a doe come into heat before 4 months so I am totally thrown off. Thanks!

  • In 17 years I've had two does come into heat at 3 months, but then they didn't come into heat again for months. What are the signs you're seeing? I once had a doeling that was acting so bucky, mounting the other goats when she was less than 2 months, that I was worried she was intersex, but she wasn't. She's 8 now and has had lots of kids. It was just a weird thing with her. You just never know what you're going to experience with goats! :)
