Getting Goat kids

[chickens really]

I was going to take puppy and Ducklings together but the Ducklings crap too much and I won't put them with my puppies.

Put them out and Fancy was at my door again in 5 minutes! Seriously if I can't contain her she will be sold.

Oh nooooooo!!!!

@Duckfarmer1
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?

Today I took the babies on their first walks! What a riot! The boys resisTed at first, then when I stopped walking, they started to lead! Roxy loved it and never left my side. I took them in with Honey and Sugar. Honey did great! Just sniffed bums. The kids were scared, but I was right there. Sugar just stayed in the goat shed and bawled....I think she was jealous that someone else had my attention...hmmm?? Right now the kids would fire through panels. I suppose I could put them in my area where the ducks are, but it’s solid mud right now due to the weather, so, I wouldn’t leave them in there long. Plus , it’s still too cold for them to be. Out long. They aren’t adjusted to that yet. Too young. But, we’re making progress. The plan is to wean them at 8 weeks, then they’ll be able to stay from moms longer.

I am and Im not. The calls drove Chris nuts, due to the noise. The ducks, I miss, but, I’m soooo busy, and, they took up sooo much time just with the maintenance. But. Do miss THEM. I hope to get a few, down the road...but just a few...

Can you tie her? We had to tie our buck...he was a handful. He did get restless, but, the girls stayed right with him. He was just too much goat for me too handle...which is why we decided to not have a buck.
