It might be easier to rent some land separate from the house. There are quite a few places that rent out fields for horses so if the fencing was suitable that might be an option.
Our holding has Anglo Nubian and British Toggenburg goats, Gotland sheep, Franconian Geese, Blue Swedish ducks, a whole load of mongrel hens and two semi-feral children.

Hi James, I'm not round the corner but not at the other end of the country - I would have to do a bit of jigging about but to tell the truth thats pretty much the norm around here - I 'think' I've plenty of hay so would like to offer to house your pygmy's so you get a chance to get things sorted and then get them back to their rightful loving owner - whatever happens in the future I'll be keeping mine one way or another so I feel for you and would like to help if you'll let me, all the best Clare

I would definitely think about looking for some land separate to the house.  So long as its fenced, and has a shed, or shelter for the goats - they will be fine.  I have goats at two separate places, not near my house, and we cope.

Also, another suggestion - perhaps someone could let you use an outbuilding, couple of stables, or similar.  Being winter, I am sure the goats would not mind having no field, obviously you would need to give them plenty of hay to keep them amused - but better than having to part with them.  My goats are in full time now and do not seem to mind.

So sorry you are in this predicament, and hope a solution comes along soon.
