So we got two baby nigerian dwarf goat bucks, they are supposed to both be 4 months old but I think that our little white one is quite a bit younger. He's very small compared to our black one, Popcorn. He looked for his mama for about a week when he got here, it was very sad. He has a smaller...
This morning I found one of my doelings dead. Her eyelids, super pale, no color, whatsoever.
