Adding a Pygmy with two Alpines

[Realtree4]

So we have 2 8 month old Alpine girls now and my daughter wants a Pygmy. How would we go about adding a pygmy that's only 10 weeks old?

I have a large dog kennel that I can seperate the little one a night when they are in the barn if that helps? Just curious if this possible....

I would just put them together, there's going to be some chasing and butting, and it will always be a third wheel, but it will be fine as long as there's room to keep some distance initially. Though you could pen it separately but I don't think that it's necessary, it would be more for the goat getting to know you so if it gets out you can catch it. Pairs are always better as they always have a buddy. Make sure your fences are secure as pygmies can really jump if they want to.
