Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Would it be possible to put the new buckling in with the buck and pregnant does, and the others in with the wethers?

Probably. They all got out the other day and mingled just fine. I suppose we could even put Eclipse and Syd in one of the other paddocks but we're fast running out of those and they'd likely have to share with a rabbit and chickens.

If there are others from the herd that would be going in with the wethers it might be less stressful on the ones being weaned if they can stay with their herd and move in with the wethers too.

I don't know if there would be, all the other kids have been weaned already and they're kinda needed to clear the brush.

Keep thinking on it, keep a few things in mind... You want to make weaning as stress free for you and them as possible in the given situation, you need brush eaten, and no doelings bred. You'll find a solution that will work for you and them.
Am I helping at all?

I will. I'll likely talk it over with my sister who'll probably say something like "They'll wean them when they're ready" and brush it off to the side because she knows everything about goats

If you really think that's a possibility, be ready with the supplement plan. If you find you end up having to supplement it'll prove your point itself and you'll know how to handle next time. Cause that momma will likely do the same with the ones coming! and her daughters may follow suit!
