I am trying to figure out if the buck my hubby brought home is too big for our little nanny.
Is there a size difference i need to be worried about? He's supposed to be a fainting goat (but hasnt 'fainted' since he was little) and she's a pigmy goat but the size of a small/medium dog.

When do they come into season?

Are they both full grown? Do you know the typical birth weights of the kids in both of their lineages? Without that info, I personally wouldn't risk it.

I have raised fainters/ myotonics. They are slower maturing. I would not breed any doeling until she is 1 year old. My Buck was larger than my does, but he threw 4 to 5 lb babies. Smaller if twins or triplets. My buck is 4 years old ,and still faints hard. All my does fainted also.

Do you know if the buck is crossed with something else? And if so, what?
That could make a big difference.

If he has a large goat breed mix in him, there may be concern.
How old is he?

He looks quite large. Might have problems during kidding.

How old are the goats? And if the doe is over 2 years I would say he is a little big .

So I looked it up and the average birth weight on a ND is 2 pounds (of course singles and multiples vary along with management) and the average myotonic is 4 pounds, and of course depending on a few factors. So that is double, before we even take into consideration he might be mixed with anything from a Nigerian to a boer.
