I have a doe due in 6weeks. Today She showed with a thick white discharge. I am wondering it I miscalculated her due date or is this normal. Her udder is still small.

There are a number of reasons why a goat might have discharge. Are you sure she's pregnant? Could she be in heat? Thick and white sounds more like heat than impending birth. For impending birth it's usually a clear or blood-tinged, clear blob of mucous that as thick as your thumb and a couple inches long. A skinny little string of clear mucous might mean birth in 24 hours, but isn't nearly as indicative of anything definitive. Was she with a buck 145-150 days ago? Does she have an udder? Are her ligaments loosening up?
