Advice needed on 3- 9 week old bucklings.

[terrilhb]

I have 3- 9 week old bucklings. I am trying to sell them but have not been able to. They are in with 3 adult does and one of the bucklings 9 week old sister. I know they can get them pregnant. So I need to move them in with their daddies. How should I go about this? I do not want the 2 adult bucks to hurt them or worse. I do not want any accidents. I would make them whethers but have never done this and do not want to do it wrong.

What kind of goats are they?

They are nubian/nigerian/boer mix. They are the sweetest babies.

Well, with large goats I don't worry about it (them getting anyone pregnant), they stay with their Moms for 4 months. Since these are crossed of large/small goats, and I know that people with pygmies and nigis worry about that happeing, I would suggest having a vet out to band them if you can't do it yourself.
