I would stand out with her while she has a chance to eat her portion. Prevent the others from shoving her off. If you have 4 goats, have 5-6 feeding spots.
But it only takes 5 min or so, so you can stand by her and guard her station.
I had a doeling who was born at 3lbs last year. She was a little thing! I was worried about her mom being able to feed both kids since she didn’t bag up well, so I gave her to my niece. I just found out at a year old, she’s only 60#, while my smallest doelings are 120 now.
My sister thinks they didn’t get her out for grazing as much as they should have and her digestive system didn’t develop as it should have… if they ever breed her, it’ll need to be to their small Pygmy buck.

oh woooow, literally half the size of your others! crazy. Yeah, alright that makes sense. when i feed them i tend to stay in the pen for a while and chase off my doe whenever she tries to chase off the little one. I currently have three goats together and a gate open between two different pens and three feeding spots, so even though that's not more than the amount of goats in there, I think she should be okay.. I'll definitely consider separating while feeding though, she will probably really appreciate that.

She needs a good 16% protein grain without molasses and calfmanna would help her grow. Along with alfalfa hay. And be sure she eats it.

Slowly introduce it to her.

I would do a cocci prevention and make sure she doesn’t have worms.

she's been on goat grower feed but i recently changed the feed for a cheaper sweet feed but i think i'll go back to goat grower, so she already has that. and was eating it just fine.

I don't have coccidia prevention, how do i get it?

What product are you wanting to use for coccidia prevention? Some products can be purchased at the farm supply, others have to be prescribed by the vet.

 

[toth boer goats]

I use corid, you can look up,
medicine cabinet 2020, it has instructions there.
I do prevention every 21 days for 5
days. No injectable vit b complex while giving corid or any product with thiamine.

There are other meds you can give.

I don't necessarily have the money for a vet visit, it would have to be something I can grab at a TSC

Cocci Meds~~~~~~

Corid/Amprolium--Mixing in drinking water is not a good method, some goats may not drink enough to do any good. Corid is available in liquid or soluble powder.
Do know, Corid does not deplete thiamine in the goat, corid mimics thiamine, making cocci go to it and kills the cocci.
Do not give thiamine or fortified vit b complex while on corid, it will stop corid from working properly.

Mixing undiluted Corid liquid:
Mix 6 tablespoons corid to 16 oz water....
Or the Pre mixed- Shake well before use.
solution give as follows
then dose it at ...
30cc per 100lbs
15cc per 50lbs
7.5 per 25 lbs

20% Powdered mixture: 3 ounces(10.5 tblspns) to 1 quart water

If you have a sturdy fence you should be able to hook each goat up to it with a collar and dog leash while they are eating, that way no one can interrupt the little one. The only thing is that you have to supervise them while they are eating if you do that so they don't get tangled up in the leash. We tried the having a feed bowl per goat plus one extra thing for a while but then we switched to just leashing up 16 goats so we could have more control lol

 

[Dogs_with_horns]

oh! that's really smart, i should try that. Currently I have been feeding in.. let's see, i think i have hay in four spots and little bits of hay in like 3 other places because the flakes fell apart when i was moving them Lol. I think that should work. before i moved the flakes to different spots they were really close together and the large doe was tolerating the little one and not chasing her off immediately, so they might even be warming up to each other..who knows.
