All I got is, ya'll let's bust out the popcorn because I can't wait to hear how this plays out.

Sounds like a wether.

SMH! Oh my, how did that not pop into my head. Make sense!

I know, like DUH...I didn't think of that either. I was thinking undescended testicles, birth defect, etc. but a wether makes perfect sense and I am not even sleep deprived or any of those excuses.

But this coming from the lady that thought she had 1 girl pup and 2 boys on the day they were born; only to discover on the double check that they are all girls.

update: she is indeed both!! I guess it is pretty "common" says my neighbor haha in twins where one of them is sterile.. just so happens it's Betty.. so although she won't be having babies of her own she will get to play with her twins babies thank you for all you help and ideas! haha it truly was shocking

but what's a wether.. maybe she's one of those

A wether is a castrated male (meaning he had his testicles removed to make him sterile).

Perhaps pictures would be the best option? Then everyone here could give feedback about your baby's external anatomy. A picture of the tummy and bottom would clear up a lot.

Is you neighbor a cattle guy/gal?

It is not very common in twins for one of them to be sterile. I believe it is with cattle, but not goats.

Most goats have twins, and those babies can reproduce as well.

I am betting wether. Without two openings back there and having a penis, it is a boy who has been castrated. Hermaphrodites have their own look altogether.

x2 on the cattle guy question...not common in the least in goats to have sterility as a result of twinning.

That's not common at all for twin doe goats for one to be sterile
It's not even common for twins where one is a male and one a female for one ie the female to be sterile
Not common at all
Don't know what you have there would need to see some pics of her/his private parts
