" <---was completely meant as a joke... Do NOT do this. 
Not yet. Hubby needs to finish the warming shack first. It’s getting too cold to work outside for any length of time. Our daughter can’t tolerate the cold for more than a few, 10-15 minutes without begging to go home. Needless to say nothing gets done past that point. So the warming shack should be helpful. Especially if we stock a couple crayons and coloring books for her.
It might get to that point. They are very, very upset with me today. I will no longer be giving them bottles. I did actually buy one of those buckets last night. They drank out of it like champs last night. They wouldn’t touch it at all this morning. Only one of my boys drank out of their water dish. I don’t know how long they can go without drinking from either the bucket or their dish. I cannot go back to bottle feeding them. I can’t lift eight goats, one at a time u and back down from their house where they are normally given bottles. The tantrums they threw were outrageous.OK... As typed and deleted: "You can always grab em' by the neck right behind their ears and dunk their heads in the water bucket a few times... That way they'll know where the water is and you know they'll swallow at least a mouthful or two in the process...
I’ve only seen one of the goats drinking from the dish at this point. I’m going to need to find a way to teach them all how to drink out of it.
