I have a goat question.
I've read that goats need 20-30sq ft of barn space per animal. Is this true for dwarf goats as well?
I have a 10x10 shed for 4 adult doe. Due to some unanticipated events, we will be up to 6 adult dwarf doe. The only thing in the barn besides the goats/bedding is a hay feeder, and water. The feeder does not take up much floor space as it is raised. They also have about 1/2 acre of pasture. Do I need another shed to accommodate the added number of goats? Or do you think this will work for now? The living arrangements will be different in spring. Their new barn will be ready then.
Thanks for any advice
I would put a table or shelf in so they will have a place to get up out of the way or hide underneath, otherwise it should be okay temporarily.
