Horn delamination, is this something to be concerned about?

Great design on the mineral feeder! And stylish in a PVC kinda way.

Another great source for minerals/vitamins is Kelp ... The brand name we use is "Sea-min" it's a good one for all kinds of things they need!

Giving free choice kelp is very good for goats. You can actually replace red cell with kelp, if they have it free choice. It's natural and it's very good for them.

Ideally you have a separate feeder for the minerals. You can feed them in their feed until you get something better though. As for how much, that depends on you, in a way. You could do what the directions tell you to do which is one or teaspoons I believe and feed them from your hands. That can be good when you only have a few goats as you do. Or you could make something to hold the mineral and you can either fill it for what they will eat for that day or you could just fill it up and refill when it's empty. That's how I do mine.

This is a page on my journal that will show you how I made my mineral feeders.

Here a great link that may help you some more.

I just use a little horse feeder hung on the fence, looks like this; http://www.jefferspet.com/mini-sheep-foal-feeder/camid/LIV/cp/16759/
