Hi Helene-First ,hope you didn't burn your dinner. now tail webs! Thats [of course] at the tail. He He.Take your index and middle finger and run them down both sides[at the same time]you will find a very hard feeling of bone on both sides of the tail, as she progreses toward kidding ,the bones will spread and you will definetly feel the difference in the contractions [ or spread of the bones]It gets further and further apart and then very supper soft. Some how you will know. It just feels different.As this Test goes on with your different goats you will come to know them by a quick feel. A may day will go out instantly. Then you sit and wait. The sure fire way to tell, is go into the house for a cup of hot coco Or fall asleep. I'll put money on that.I thank our goat GOD I have had a lot of you guys on goatworld to teach me and guide me so I have learned. But mostly its by the grace of GOD and some great goat people It sure dosen't hurt to get a little help.
