WELL, THAT QUESTION IS ANSWERED!!

First of all, Congratulations!

8x8 is plenty big enough for 4 goats, if they have some yard in addition to it. I have a 5 x 8 in my buck pen and will have 1 buck and 4 females in there, all full size (boers and kikos) adult goats.

Unless you want the milk for yourself, she should be producing plenty for her two babies. I have never had to supplement twins even with my low milk producing boers.

They do not have to be bottle fed to be friendly, just spend a lot of time with them and handle them a lot. If you do want to bottle them, start now. It is difficult to get a dam nursed kid to a switch to a bottle. If it were me I would just let momma raise them.

Since they were born without any trouble, you really do not need any of those supplies now. Just make sure momma has plenty of browse or hay and some grain. You will want to order now, before you need it some treatment for coccidia (I recommend Di-Methox).

Worm momma now. They tend to get a post kidding worm bloom.

Ditto on the above.
We dam raise and our babies are annoyingly friendly. With the small pen it will be even easier - just handle them daily.

Crazyland - Really?? HUH?? Did they (or you) have a neighbor with goats? Maybe a breeding thru the fence type of thing.

I don't have a neighbor with goats. She was bred before I got her.
The woman said that the first breeding, that resulted in shootingstar, was by a buck up the road that escaped. I imagine it happened again in the middle of the night and she didn't know about it or didn't think it possible so soon after delivery. Their fence wasn't exactly goat proof.

Cindy, You will have to post some updated photos. They grow so fast you know.
