My kids, Jabari (M) and Aaliyah (F) are now 5 months old and still living together with their mum, Khaleesi (although they are penned separately from her at night).
My question is: how soon should I be worried about Jabari trying to mate with his mother and sister? He is definitely head butting with Khaleesi. And, Khaleesi has been acting like a spring lamb in response! She's been jumping and cavorting like I've never seen her do before. Does this mean she's ready to breed again?
Jabari has been 'riding' the backs of the girls for the longest time, but I believe it's just playing. I have not yet seen him make a serious attempt at anything.
I know it's a ticking time bomb....but here's my problem. We built a great goat house for our goats a few months back, before the kids were born. My husband is now very reluctant to spend money building anything extra for our little buck. I know that is exactly what is needed, but I need some ideas friends on possible alternatives to building a separate goat house/penned area. Thanks
