We are remodeling our goat barn and want to add more stalls in order to have more separation pens. What would you say is a minimum size stall for 5 pygmy goats? Just trying to figure out how to break up the space to fit a good amount of seperate areas.
Got these adorable little Pygmy girls today ( I had baby goat fever lol ) they are 7 & 8 wks old. Do they look like PB Pygmies? Is this old enough to be weaned or should I try to bottle feed?

The seller has decided goats are not for him so he is giving them to me. He has had them for 6 months and the buck has been with them the whole time.

My 2 does ran with my buck all through summer.
I assumed they'd become preggers but I never witnessed any mating.

They don't have any udder development.
Can anyone suggest toys for goats? Just something to keep them busy! What should I put in the pasture for them to climb and play on? I'd love to hear everyones ideas and pics would be awesome:)
