Hi Chris 
I've seen ya around BYC, havent I? Your writing style looks familiar 
Ok, so sounds like it really is a measuring cup I should be using, I will weigh it out later...
My doe Sophie is currently alone. Her friend died very recently after a 2 week battle to save her. Its only been a few days. Since I am not 100% sure what killed Ellie, I am doing some cleaning and sanitizing of the goat area to make sure it is safe to bring a new goat or two in. I am also waiting a few days to be sure Sophie is not showing any signs of illness.
I go out and spend time with her at least 3 or 4 times a day to help ward off loneliness, I also have horses in the pasture connected to her pen.
I am looking for a new friend for her right now- its hard because I am still hurting over the loss of Ellie, but I know Sophie needs companionship.
I am thinking about getting 2 doelings and having 3 goats all together.
I am also not sure if Sophie is pregnant. She was sold to me as bred and due to deliver this month, but, she isnt showing any signs yet, so Im not sure. I dont think she is, but I am trying to be considerate of the fact that she could be. If she is, I dont think she will be delivering for 2 or 3 months. She has a big belly on the right side, no real udder development (I thought she did at one point, but it hasnt grown in 2 weeks) but she is hungry all the time. I dont see or feel any baby movement, but I dont really know what Im feeling for, especially if she is very early in pregnancy. She was penned with a smaller pygmy buck when I bought her December 28th, 2011.
So, about 1 cup of goat chow a day, once a day, or 1 cup in the AM and 1 cup in the PM? I know she sure loves it!
