Should I separate my younger goat to feed?

Hi, I am not sure if my two females are in kid?  Should I separate my 10 month old female so that the others can have more food now?

I separate my two in-kid nannies for feeding from about 6 weeks before kidding and gradually increase their rations. Not until then.
