Ok so I really want to make sire I'm doing this right so this post is cross posted.
I have two nigerian dwarf goats both females coming to us the last week of July they will both be 8 weeks old and weaned. We found this for super cheap and it's very sturdy but it definitely needs some work. It was designed for a rather large and aggressive dog so Im thinking it will hold up fairly well. We are planning on putting new roofing material of some kind on top its regular house asphalt tile roofing now but its falling off. We are gonna scrub it and repaint it and add a foot of wood around the base of it to fix were the previous tenant had a few midnight snacks. We are also think of adding a door for better clean out and a hay rack feeder inside. Do I need to add some kind of door to the opening for them? The backyard is fenced with a 6 foot high fence and we have a great dane whose bark usually drives off predators in the area. I was thinking of adding a little 4foot high fence in the front like a play area and then letting them out in the mornings like I do my chickens. Are these good ideas? Will this work at all? This is my first time with goats and I want to give them the best home possible!
