My little black nubian dwarf baby only a few weeks old has a different body shape than the other two.
The other goats have little round tummies and you can't really see their hips. Of the others that look round one was the biggest in his little of 4 and the other was the only goat in his litter, so I imagine they got the most milk. This little black goat is concave between his ribs and legs and while he eats the same as the others his tummy seems to be smaller(..?)when I check it to see if he's full. If that's possible? I also can see his hips. I am not sure about goat coats but his also always looks ruffled too. I've given him and the others some probiotics but I've only had them for about 3 days. I just want to get him off to a good start. He is happy otherwise.. up to crazy goat antics, but I am not an expert so I thought I'd ask.
I bought him from a man that also sold me another baby goat and that one looks awesome, as did the rest of the goats in his herd, but I wonder if this one just went unnoticed? or he's just naturally thin
