So what I have been doing that works really well, is...
I have 2 feeding buckets that I ration out their feed in, and the goats divide up into 2 groups to eat. I am fairly sure each is getting a fair share. In Bucket 1 on my left eat Amber--large preg mini nub. and Bridget--small preg mini nub. On my right eat Uhoh--large preg mini nub and heard queen, Fritz--buck(intact but with the preg does) and Casper--wether. Casper and Fritz take turns in the bucket as only 2 can get their noses into it at the same time and the queen would never dream of taking her nose out and she is a fast eater so she gets the lions share, so it works out pretty well.
Right now, there is only 2 cups of sweet goat feed in each bucket so it is not much. The vast majority of what they eat is hay. They are all round but with slight hip bones showing so I think they are in pretty good condition. They are coating up and seem to be staying warm so I am pretty happy right now.
