150 days average gestation. Goats often kid up to five days early or late (145-155 being the range).

Approx. 5 months, this also depends on the time u put your billy in and what season you want them to kid in, if you have them kiidding in spring then then it will be more around 155-160 but if its winter then it will be more around 145-155

About 150 days, some will be pregnant for a longer or shorter time than other goats. However, they should not give birth before about 130 days as there is a risk on premature kids (offspring).

That depends. Because a goats placenta can start showing a couple hours before the goat actually goes into "labor" labor. Though from when the placenta drops, it is usually a half hour to two hours after when the kid is born. If it is taking long, that usually means the mother is having troubles giving birth. At that time you either need to help her yourself, or call a vet.

From the time a goat is impregnated, it will take about 150-155 days, but this time frame may vary slightly among different goat breeds. I have also read that it is difficult to tell if a goat is pregnant, especially if the doe has already given birth to kids in the past.

I found an article online called The Basics of Goat Breeding that might be helpful to you. And you might want to check out the Fias Co Farm website that explains how to care for a goat in the weeks before a birth. I'll post them both as related links.

145-150days; 5months. Some goats give birth a day or two later, but earlier results in Preemies (which may, or may not make it).

They are pregnant for about 150 days (6 months), they can become pregnant when they are 6-10 months so that she can deliver when she is one year old.
