I saw the thread by @reenpoo03 and started thinking about my doeling….. Here is her vulva: I am worried since she has that odd little pink thing at the end of her vulva. And how the vulva is shaped. She has not been in heat yet, and she will be 1 year old this may! She has great teats and...

Hello everyone, the other day we picked up what was supposed to be a companion for our doeling that’s been inside for a little while now because she’s been struggling. She’s doing better now but we wanted to get her a companion so that when we moved her outside, it would be an easier transition...

Hello everyone! I'll be getting a standard Nubian doeling at 4 days old, and would like to bottle feed. I'm still new to the world of goat ownership, and have been looking at numerous charts on how and when to bottle feed. I'm not the best at math 😆, and there have been different calculations...

I’m sure there are threads on this topic, but I’m also sure that the knowledge and skill of others has increased over the years so I thought I’d make a new one! I know (generally) how to set up a goat to look nice. To not hunch in their hind end, feet directly beneath the shoulders and pin...

So I finally got outside to take some photos of the doeling Luna gave birth to in March. She’s growing wonderfully and I hope for her to kid next year! Before that though, I want to know what I should be looking at improving. I have two bucks (one being her sire) so I only have one option to...

NGD doeling- Did the fecal, she's got a heavy load, had diarrhea for about a week now. I'm treating with Corid. She's eating and drinking of her own accord, as well as peeing in addition to the diarrhea, but she's definitely getting weaker. If she will eat sweet feed, can I give it to her...

Hello, so I am stuck in a quandary of sorts. I really like the Nubian, and am currently on a waiting list for a standard Nubian doeling. But I'm thinking about the price. She is $450, which I thought was a bit much. Then I heard that some purebred Nubians can range from $150-700! The parents...

So, i recently bought a boer doeling. My plan with her is to breed her and take the male offspring for the sole purpose of meat, however, i've heard boers also produce alright milk and i would like to milk her if possible. However, on the left (i think) teat it's abnormal. fishtail teats...

It’s time for me to return to the forum once again after a lengthy break! This time I come with good news- exciting news, even! quite a while ago I was looking at some new lines to add to my herd. I wanted good lines too, not just something that would put milk in the pail, but something that...

My Nubian doeling (who has got to be the clumsiest thing to ever exist and will be the death of me) just jumped into her water bucket, cast first. It’s soaking wet and my father refuses to address it because there’s a week left of her cast being on and he doesn’t want to spend the money to fix...

After what has felt like FOREVER I have finally gotten myself a doeling with the lines I’ve been looking for. Now while she won’t be here until July, I still can’t wait to post this! she is out of Lone Rock Nigerians in Alberta, Canada. They have some lovely goats. This doeling in particular...

Hey everyone. So... eventful night. Our Nubian doeling broke her leg, so we rushed her to the vet and he sedated her to put a cast on. No clue why, I had no say in it. But now it’s been an hour and she still hasn’t waken up completely, and the vet said it would take 20 mins. I’m really worried...

Just curious about everyone’s thoughts on this doeling. Is it too early to tell conformation on a three week old? Am I getting too ahead of myself? 😂 so far she’s looking nice to me, hard to get a picture of her rear since she doesn’t want to stand still. And here I thought a baby would be...

So last night, during a huge storm, a doeling was born! The breeder I’ve been working with was kind enough to let us know first, so of course we had to take her. We snatched her up immediately and plan to bottle feed in a couple weeks! It’ll be our first time bottle feeding but I’m prepared...

I was doing chores yesterday morning when I noticed one of my dwellings had a swollen face, I tossed her in a spectate pen for a few hours to see if maybe she had just popped her jaw out, however when I got back she has built up quite a bit of foam around her mouth/nose, I gave her a unit of...

So this morning I went out to check the girls and noticed that one of my younger ones had something wrong with her eye. She kept it closed and when she opened it, I noticed a bit of swelling. Thankfully I think I’ve caught it early. I used some eye drops to flush it out and then put a little eye...

I have 4 goats, a wether, a buck, a doe and a doeling. The wether and doeling (brother and sister), they were sold together and very attached! They freak out when they're not together. The wether Resin even mounts his sister Rosie all the time. I didn't think my buck would do it since he never...

Hello all! I just picked up my second goat on Saturday, and I worry that I may have chosen the wrong breeder. Betty (the doeling) is not only very skittish, but seems to have a twitch. Every now and then she’ll stomp her left leg, and there’s no real reason to it. She had been lying down and...

Hello! We had to pull a kid Monday night because it came head first with no feet. Tuesday she was able to drink from mom and had lots of energy. Wednesday she had some messy poop we had to clean off her and now it is Thursday she is low energy, doesn’t get excited like her sister to eat and is...

This afternoon, I noticed one of my little young doelings is bloated and somewhat inflated. She is only 3 weeks old.. She was laying down a lot, but when standing up, she had this slouched/depressed posture. I have syringed fed her a water/baking soda mixture and gave 15cc's of pepto bismol...
