Any call you make (except PETA) would hopefully help remedy the situation.

This it sounds like there is enough to prove neglect depending on your state. And if it is abuse that can be added to the list of charges later.Do not report them for abuse. Report them for neglect. Neglect is subject to interpretation, but in the case you describe, almost any moral person, and any pet owner, would interpret these conditions as neglect. Additionally almost every state has laws against animal neglect.
Another vote not to call PETA here they may have been a decent organization at one point but they’ve really gone off the deep end these days.It actually may not be abuse. It depends on the laws of OP's state. And contacting peta is the absolute worst thing OP can do! If they want to contact animal control thats up to them. But contacting peta would be bad for all concerned
@Fluffy_the_chicken In case no one else tells you, IMHO You are a wonderful person.Also, when there was a fire,they left them locked in the pen

I 100% percent agree with both of these posts! Photography and videos are your selling point. You are an amazing person for caring for these sweet goats! Amazing job!The pen size in and of itself might not be illegal but the hobbling and dead goats are. I would do you best to film it without being seen (picture or video) and report it to your local animal control and health department. Build up some evidence first if you can.
Not abuse but definitely neglect.Our neighbors have a herd of goats, who have a small pen about 13 by 13 pen with around 10-14 goats that live in the mud, and there hobbled to roots in the ground when they try to escape. Today I saw a Nanny and her kids laying dead in the yard for I don’t know how long. Is this abuse? They don’t want to talk ever and the goats only have a small shak open on two sides for shelter. I am worried and they look very sad and depressed. They try to get out any chance they get.
Feet13 of WHAT each way? Feet? Meters? Pieces of fence?
What measurement makes a BIG difference.
13 x 13 meters is more than 10 times as much space as 13 x 13 feet.
