Chiques chicks - my little corner - had to pick hottest day

I apologize for the pictures posting multiple times. Working from my phone and still getting used to this.

Congrats on your new additions! They are cuties!

The kids have settled in quite nicely! They were skittish for a day or two, but now they are constant underfoot whenever I'm in their enclosure.

The person I got them from was feeding grass hay and sweet feed. I am supplying them with unlimited grass hay and only giving them perhaps a quarter to a half cup of sweet feed toward the end of the day. Plus leaves and whatever other vegetation I may throw in. Am I feeding enough? They seem to always be chewing, so I'm guessing when they get noisy when they see me is just cries for more attention. Friendly little guys. Poop is normal, color is good. They also have free choice mineral and baking soda, and of course fresh water.

Sounds like you're off to a great start! Glad they have adjusted so quickly and have made you the herd leader I think most will tell you to eliminate the grains as it can cause urinary problems with boys and they really don't need it (unless giving it for some specific reason like boosting growth...).

Not having ever had goats, that was my understanding as well. Since they are young and it was what they are accustomed to, I was continuing, although I only give them one yogurt cup ( my measure) between the two of them, peer day. Although they have sperate feeders, they insist on trying to both eat from the same one, silly boys.

Thank you for affirming my thoughts.

I haven't found much of anything they don't like.

Congrats on your new goats!! Have you decided which one is Leonard and which is Sheldon?

 

[OneFineAcre]

Sheldon and Leonard, like the Big Bang Theory?

 

[chiques chicks]

Leonard is the white with black, Sheldon is the fawn, I guess that's what you call that color.

And yes, from Big Bang! I figure if I ever decide to get more, it's easy to continue the names.

They look great.
