Is sugar that much bigger than the other kids? Or is it a weather issue preventing you from letting the kids play together?
My friend has her pens set up so all her kids can walk through the fence into a play zone that the Momma goats can't fit through. They play and then go back to their Mommas when finished playing. I don't know if that might help you or even if you can do that?

Sugar is a lot bigger, but it’s mostly the weather. Wayyyy too cold for these little ones still all snow. I’ve been taking Honey and Sugar in the barn to see them all, going pretty good, but the kids are surprisingly shy!! They retreat into their boxes while Honey and Sugar meet my does. But that’s going well.

Today I'm putting Fancy and Ozzy out it the pen for most of the day. I hope she doesn't figure out any other escape routes!

You see the goats in my profile picture? Momma and the little black and white dude faint.. the other will not nor can he.. and both are from her... same buck as father ... figure that one out..lol..genetics are funny... And the little fainter will not jump onto anything anymore.. he scares himself stiff..lol


All in all.. they are easy to raise.. just watch copper intake.. and make sure you get yours from a closed herd.We lost 3 due to Barberpole worms.( we got lied to when we bought these goats) so , that was hard to deal with.
Goats have become very resistant to dewormers. So we opt not to do that anymore. And it has worked out great for us.We had more problems with deworming and scours and other stuff when we where doing that.
..Ours are healthy ,wormload is minimal and the eyelids are super pink.
