When a Goat is ready to give birth, she will usually begin to wander away from the herd a few days before. That is usually a sign to put her in a dry place. Then, she will start to paw at the ground eiather because she is ready to lay down, or she is trying to releive the tension of a contraction. You will then begin to see a small to medium sized white "goo" that comes out of her rear. By now she is ready to be put up and left alone. during the birth, do not bother her or try to feed her. Do not take away the placenta, she will eat it as a part of her instinct. When the kid is born, have a towel ready to clean the his airways. It is easiest to take the index finger and thumb to get all of the sack out of his mouth. Don't forget the nose! You can just rub the sack of the nose. Be ready to do this as soon as the kid touches the ground. If not on time, then the kid will probably die. If the kid is breeched while in the birth canal, then push him back in and grab back legs, careful not to scratch momma's insides. It should always be front hooves, head, then rest of body. Leave mom and kids in a dry place for up to a week. Make sure kids find the mom's teats, they need the colostrum. They need to be suckling within the first 20 minutes, as well as standing. It is best to put there mouth to the teat when they are standing and if possible, lightly dribble the milk into their mouth until they have found it and are nursing by themselves.
