How early can Nigerians kid?

Wondering what the earliest date people have had their goats kid? This will be my 1st kidding, senior doe due to kid 4/18. I just found out I need to go out of town 4/9-4/10. Is this cutting it too close? I would appreciate any input! Thanks!

  • Thanks Deborah! That makes me feel better about going out of town!
  • If 4/18 is day 145, you're fine. If she were to kid on 4/9 or 4/10, that would be premature, so odds of survival would not be great. Most of my goats give birth between 145 and 150. Less than 1% of my goats give birth before or after those dates.
