Very Noisy Goat.

And I mean REALLY noisy! I'm surprised our neighbours haven't complained and they are 300m away.


I'm not really sure why she has become so noisy, she never was in the past. She kidded about 10 weeks ago with me present and it started then but only a little. My friend joked that she has an attachment disorder and has got mixed up about whether I am her kid or not and certainly she gets more noisy when I am away from her (especially when first leaving her) but then again she doesn't seem that fussed when she leaves her kids. It seems to be getting increasingly pronounced how much she is shouting. Can't find any source of distress, well fed, no sign of injury/ill-health.


Any suggestions or experience of this? Is she just a neurotic first time mother with an attachment disorder (and really bad eyesight!)? Any ideas how to calm her down?

Ours are the noisiest goats I've ever met.  They are brilliant foghorns, great but when we have campers, oh dear it's like walking a trip wire walking round at night. So we put them away at nights when we have visitors, and if we're empty they stay out with shelter of course. 


They think they're the queen bees here, and like to tell us so  :innocent:
