Caution: WIDE LOAD! 
I always bet two kids because it's a fairly safe bet and it's the number I most want to have since I think two smaller kids would be easier to deliver than one monster, and because goats have two teats--makes nursing a lot more straightforward.
As for sex, I always bet "healthy." I never honestly care whether I get boys or girls as long as they're healthy.
Jezebel is due May 12 as well. Which one will hold out longer I wonder? Jezebel is looking pretty "ripe" these days. She's a deep-bodied doe so she doesn't look overly huge or tight, but you can tell she feels heavy. She's also a first freshener, so not much udder yet to speak of. I think she's going to have a cute little udder, unlike the giant bags my other girls have. She started distancing herself from the other goats yesterday, so she must be feeling close. Even Delilah went off with the herd while Jezebel wandered off by herself, which is highly irregular. Those two are usually joined at the hip.
