    I have a Nigerian Dwarf Doeling that is nearly 2 days old & the mom has not let her nurse. I've been bottle feeling since she was 17 hours old. She is nearly 2 days old now & weighs 2.67 lbs. The last feeding, which was this morning at 8:40 am, she only ate 3/4 of an ounce. I use Producer...

    One of my does is due to freshen soon so I got some grain to start her on. My other doe is five months old. Should I be giving her some too?

    How do I teach my nubian doeling to stand in the right position, and what is the position.
  4. Goat Conformation
    I will be bringing home these two next week. Originally we were going to get wethers but I found these does and realized they were a much better fit for us (my mom loves mini nubians LOL). We are very excited and I am looking for opinions on them just out of curiosity. They are unregistered and...

    So I’m curious what you all think, and the rules surrounding this. My home bred doe gave birth to twin doelings this year. Both of them were born with extra teats unfortunately. As I’ve watched them grow and mature though, I’m just stunned by their conformation. Perfectly uphill, long and level...

    Hello all, I have this one doeling who seems small to me. She is three months and is still on mom. She was a triplet but sadly the other two passed away. She just got dewormed recently. She weighs 12 lbs. is that a normal weight for her size or should I be bottle feeding her or feeding her...

    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...
  11. Goat Conformation
    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...
  13. Beginners Goat Raising
    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...
  14. Dairy Diaries
    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...
  15. Goat Frenzy
    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...
  19. Goat Conformation
    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...
  20. Birth Announcements
    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...
