Freud, what does her udder look like? According to the list I go by her last due date would have been the 5th of January, at least for my Nubians, My Lamancha's routinely went earlier. If she has no udder formation than you are either looking at a cloud burst or a very well fed doe!
You want to keep the newbies seperated until they have been wormed, vaccinated and are eating and drinking well. You certainly don't want to put them in with your stock, not only because they will get picked on but because they may be harboring a disease. It takes at least 21 days of quaranteen to rule out most things, and oh especially CL abscesses. Keep them seperated and watch them. Vicki
