Very cute kids. Hubby and I have both made the "I thought that was a girl" mistake at least once. Now we check for holes instead of danglies. One hole=boy, 2 holes=girl. Much more accurate. I think some of the boys don't' drop the danglies right away.
The runny yellow poop is perfectly normal, though usually only in the first week. It is hard to say how old those babies are but they look older than a week. I agree with the other posters, don't worry about it, just keep an eye on things. The yellow poop can be very sticky, make sure the...
Moving and weaning are very stressful for kids. They can eat plain yogurt to give probiotics. You can buy a powdered probiotic for goats but yogurt is fine, you may have to drench it.

Just a reminder to all of us how...
:love Adorable! Looks like the weather cleared up some. Ohio weather has been pretty sucky this year. My boy was up in Dayton yesterday for a trap shoot and the kids were miserable. Rain, Wind, Sleet, Snow.., you name it. Not a good day for baby goats to be introduced to their new homes...
