My two goats lock up pen is a 10X10 chainlink dog run that's covered with a tarp and vapour barrier plastic. Inside is a Dog house that both comfortably sleep in. They did great over winter.
I also have gotten rid of my chickens so I have my two kids in a 8X12 Coop and an 8 X12 run. Plus goat yards built for each set up.
This winter everyone will be in the 8X12 Coop/Shed. I have small mix breed goats.

Thanks for sharing, sounds like a great set-up. Do you think if our goats have full access dawn to dusk of 11,000 fenced square feet (~3 acres) and are only locked in at night inside of a 10X16 mini barn (e.g., cupola, roof vents), I could safely have around 8-12 of them in the barn for this period of time? Would stalls be recommended or just let them roam free in there?
No. I honestly don't think having that many confined in that sized building would be good. If they could have a choice of going in and out would be a better solution. Maybe a doggy door that leads into a safe pen during lock up?
