I'd probably just let her out to free-range if you don't think she is doing well being locked up.
Last year with my first three does kidding, I kept them out (on pasture) up until they went into labor, when I'd lock them in the goat house. I wanted to put them in the goat house earlier, like when they came closer to their due date, but my goats are drama queens when it comes to putting them anywhere where they are not used to. And especially if it involves a small(ish) place with 4 walls.

Mom and baby are doing quite well this morning. They will get some pasture time this afternoon
She has been a great momma so far! Quite the helicopter mom! always hovering over her! I went in last night and picked the doeling up for a few minutes and I was sure Red was going to go crazy! She kept looking around like "where'd she go, where'd she GO!!!"

Need a name! I'll get some better pictures later and see if we can't figure out a good name.
