Hi I'm new to goats I've done some research before I got any. I have 3 Nigerian dwarf nannies and 1 Pygmy billy, I know 2 are bred not sure about the third one, but my question is after they have the babies could they breed again if my male is with them all time before baby/babies are weaned? Any other info be good this my first time with goats TIA

Yes, what is more concerning is the offspring. Nigerian doelings can start to cycle at 9weeks- 12 weeks. ND bucklings can breed by 8 weeks.
This means you run a huge risk of keeping a buck with your does.
Most people do not do this, best for bucks to have their own space and live with other bucks.
