I think what you have will work. My barn was built so that the dividers were not needed structurally, so can move all of them. Since it was set up for mini horses, the stalls are 6X8 and are great for my does...most are full sized. This year, I didn't even separate them to kid, huge lounge barn, they did fine!! But have all been together for a while.

If you feel you need more lounge area, you can always add a roof one one side. It could be in the area where you eventually add on with walls.

How on earth do you milk two does at a time?? o_O You are a master!

I wish I was a master, the goats still rule. As other stated, I have a machine. One milk can with a lid for two sets of inflations. IF AND WHEN I ever get the dairy done I will be milking 4 at a time with 8 in the barn at one time. 4 get milked, 4 get prepped while waiting and then milked. And then "rinse and repeat" 3-4 more times.
