Title: How long do you keep first freshener and kids separate from others?
Post by: Thrift Bee on January 15, 2014, 11:21:35 pm

Is there any reason to keep them separate from their granny?  They are 10 days old now.

Also, because the weather is pretty miserable at the moment, how long should i keep them inside?

Thanks in advance.

Mine share a shed so when the younger goat gave birth, her mother was in the shed and wandered over to have a look at her new grandson. They then lived happily together.
