Hiw do i get rid of ridiculous fat on forehead?!

That sounds like a good idea.

But before you do that, think about all the things you do during the year, and make sure that space is really not needed. It would be very frustrating to build the new pen, and then have to take it back out because you forgot about something! For example, it's easy to forget in the summer where you pile the snow in the winter, or in dry weather it's easy to forget that you use a particular space to walk around big puddles when it rains. (Those are just examples, because I do not know what conditions you are dealing with.)
We haven't used the gap for at least five years...
 
Yes. Expand the pen to the unused space, but don't get the goats.
The pig's weight needs to be first priority. Otherwise you won't need to worry about whether he gets along with goats. He'll be dead.
This is exactly what you need to focus on. Not goats. Don't get goats. (You have PLENTY to do without them) Make the suggested changes to his diet, and use the extra space to hide his food and get him moving.
Because he is already your pet, you need to get him healthy before you think about getting more pets.
Taking him for walks is great, but he needs to be moving more when you're not around also.

I can't not get the goats! I can just have them in a different pen till I get the pig situated. I am nothing without animals. Even if they are wild.

You don't need the goats and you have bigger issues right now with the pig. You still have your animals, you're not without them, just without the goats for a little while

We are getting goats! Im..I'm too afraid to tell my mother to not to get them... I don't know how she will act. It's been my dream to have goats for YEARS! It's literally my dream! I can't back down. This is my only chance that my mother won't refuse... if I back down she could change her mind. And I would be heartbroken 💔😞.
 
If goats are really that important to you, (more important than a pig that you already own and is in urgent need of help) then you need to get that pig in the hands of someone else who will make him a priority.
Sorry this sounds harsh, but animals are not toys to collect. You will be well and truly heartbroken when you start loosing them to inadequate care.
 
Ok look, I get that you love animals. Thats wonderful, truly. But what you really need is someone (not strangers on a forum) but an actual person to teach and guide you in their care... and most importantly, to step up and tell you when you are taking on too much. Its a real shame that your parents don't appear to be filling this role.
Your animals need better care, and the reason people keep telling you to downsize is because its MUCH easier to manage just a few. The fact that your parents are not just allowing all of this, but buying MORE animals for you doesn't make them right, it makes them enablers. IMO, between the dozens upon dozens of chickens, the overweight pig, and now goats...you are dancing on the edge of hoarding.
Having that many animals in "make-it-work" conditions is not just bad for the animals, its REALLY bad for you. You seem overwhelmed already in some of your other posts, so I cannot fathom why your parents would allow you to further entrench yourself with more.

You seem like a good person with a big heart, and I want you to succeed, but you need to take care of yourself as well as the animals. Please think about finding new homes for some or at least not acquiring more for a while. A flock of 10 or so chickens and a pig is totally do-able, and you can learn so so much along the way. (Not to mention treat them all like royalty, AND preserve your sanity)
I really do wish you the best. :hugs

You know what... I have been thinking about getting rid of some of my chickens, but in order to do that, they need to be healthy. So I need to help my chickens and help them. In any case we didn't know if we were gonna get a pig, or I eggzageration fifty-zillion chicks, but these goats, I can't let go of, you can call me selfish but this is my dream to have goats I can't back down, it's my only chance to finally be actually happy...

I think getting rid of a good number of your chickens and removing your pig would be in everyone's best interests then.
