Chillin' with the herd
I have two ND does that as of a month ago became herd mates. The oldest one has turned into the dominate one. She will head butt the little one that is pregnant. I know they do this as play and to establish who is who so wasn't worried BUT Nutmeg, the older one, when she head butts Java Chip, she will now go for her sides. I am afraid that she has done this so much and so hard that the baby(ies) are dead. I haven't felt any movement and if everyone on here is correct, she should be having her baby(ies) within 6 weeks. Could they still be alive and should I separate them or what. I don't really have a way to do that but I have to stop the head butting on the other ones sides. These are my first two goats so I know absolutely nothing about their behaviors. Any help would greatly be appreciated. THANKS! Deb
