14 weeks - Around this time the vulva will start to get bigger and longer and the skin around this area will become smoother.
15 weeks - At this time if it is your doe's first kid you should see the udder start to develop. Keep in mind that some first time mommy's udders develop a little slower so don't freak out if the udder development is a little slow at this stage.
