I *think* Moo might be ready to calve! She's been in the chicken coop since early this morning and refused to eat all day. She keeps getting up and then laying down again - she's not interested in food at all. I can't really tell because she keeps wacking her tail all around, but I think there's some discharge and some protruding in that area as well. From what I can see, with her laying down, her bag looks nearly twice as large as it did yesterday. All this is could be nothing though as she often looks quite distorted when she lays down.
Naturally, we're expecting storms all week -- beginning tonight. I had to open the barn up for the horses due to the storms which messed up the original plan of putting her in there as she labored. I'm a little concerned that she won't have room to have that calf in the coop and even more concerned if she tries to lay down in there with it that she'll squash the little thing. There is a history there as she layed right down on a chicken one time after Moo-ing several warnings to it. Poor thing, should have heeded those warnings.
