Ok, the kids are starting to be noisy. I think it is because they see the neighbors outside and want attention. They quiet down once we go in the pin. The kids are not deprived of attention, in fact maybe they are being spoiled to much (if there is such a thing :) ) Any suggestions on how to brake them of their crying, we don't want the kids being a nuisance while we are gone to work. Our thought to break them of this habit is to not give in and instead just let them cry until they give up, once they quiet down then go to the pin and give them attention. What do you think?
When I brought 3 of my goats home as a group they would run to the border fence and holler at the neighbors when they saw them out. The neighbors ignored them and it lasted about a week before they quit.

My advice would be to do just that...ignore them when they cry for attention only.
