Some of the first signs is restlessness. The goat will get up and paw then lay down again. You might see blood start to come out a little bit. But when the goat is ready to give birth any moment the plug (thick mucus) will come out. Sometimes you can notice the raising of the back when the babies move into the canal. This can start to happen a few days from the birth or the same day.
