I have no "star" dairy goats or even registered does (registered bucks though).

I really don't know goats. I am amazed that you can tell so far out but looking at their private parts. With sheep that is not a give away!

At six weeks she 'should' be fine. I had a buck that was orphaned at three weeks and I was never able to get him to take a bottle - even though I tried and tried. He did nibble feed and hay, but I never thought he was eating enough. He grew up to be a multiple grand champion, so it didn't...
Definitely take those pics- you will be sooo glad you did! Cant tell you how many times myself and others have looked back and wish we had!
And feel free to share pics of your girl and her 'baby daddy'!
