When can I throw the kid out back?

Kid is always crying for attention, is jealous of the kittens and chews on my coat and shirts. Even ate the corner of the curtain in the bedroom. She is 6 weeks-old so what is the correct way to acclimate her to go outside for good? I mean in the cold weather.
Yes, a goat.

I had to laugh, we had a goat when I was a child and that animal ate EVERYTHING! Sorry I can't help you with your question, but you did make me chuckle.

Put her out during the day for a while, once she's really enjoying that - then leave her out on a warmish night, with a nice place to cuddle etc. good luck

We take her out while feeding and she hates it! She hedges her bets on who is going inside 1st. tried to get her to play with the little billy but no luck.

Good luck with that unruly kid!

6 wks old and the only kid, looks like you are stuck with her for awhile. Unless you can get her some friends her age/size and put them out together.

We plan our breeding so we have kids together at the same time so they don't have to be in the house, but sometimes it doesn't happen that way and they become housebabies. At least for a little while. Good luck and enjoy them while they are young.
