The pygmies should be stockier than the nigies. The pygmies we've had were more like little barrels with legs. Adorable but difficult to birth. Don't get me wrong, we had a few birthing difficulties with the nigies too over the years but only a handful of times out of 10- 25 does kidding every year for 7 years. We bred our pygmy girls to nigie bucks to help produce kids with smaller frames but still had delivery problems every time.
The nigies can be taller than the pygmies but they aren't that much bigger and they don't eat any more than the pygmies.
