I have a 10 1/2 month old nigerian dwarf doeling who I would like to breed if I can ever figure out when she actually is in heat (a whole other topic).
The bucks around here are full grown and seem huge compared to her, though she is a good size and very healthy. Should I be worried about their size? There are some bucklings that are smaller than her that should be in rut soon but I'm not sure they are up to the task.

Thanks everyone. Actually my question was not about the potential size of the kids - as a midwife I have learned that babies are all little when they are born regardless of the size of the dad (and big babies are less to do with parental size than other factors). It is more the size for breeding right now. She will be close to a year when I breed her (if I can figure that part out) and I am not worried about her growth. I am purposely waiting on my other doeling who is a month younger because she just isn't ready and won't be this year at all. I don't want her to get hurt when she is bred and like any mama all males look big and scary to me when I think of them with my girl.
