Hello everyone! UPDATE && PICTURES! :D

I got my kids today! I am so in love :love They did well on our 2 hour drive home Han even feel asleep in my lap. They have been eating and jumping around their new home. They have been really noisy but they just settled down in their dog house for the night so I think we might not piss off our neighbors to much tonight. :smack They are getting to where when you come up to the fence they also come up to the fence and they are still skittish but not nearly as bad as they were. Small steps :weee

I have a question about bugs though :eek::sick I am having a huge issue with pincher bugs, they were allll over in their water and on the water dish, in their house and they are all over in my chicken coop.. anyone know a way to get rid of them without bothering the goats and chickens?

Congrats new goat momma! :clap They sure are precious! :love Love the blue eyes. :celebrate When you say "pincher bugs" are you referring to earwigs? If that's what you're talking about and you have chickens, I don't understand... Every chicken I've ever seen goes completely nuts to eat them! virtually no bugs stand a chance when chickens are around... Other than that, I'm not sure? :hu

Yes @Latestarter , that is what I mean. Sorry we call them pincher bugs and forgot they were called earwigs. My chickens aren't doing anything for them because they are only 5 week old and not very interested in them

The blue eyes are my favorite too we will be getting more with blue eyes for sure! :thumbsup

The babies are ADORABLE and the blue eyes are just precious and glad that they are being a little friendly. I had three with blue eyes this year. One buckling I sold, one I will sell, and the doeling I kept ended up with a cleft palat and I have to eventually put her down. :hit I have 2 more does to freshen that were bred to my blue eyed buck so there is still hope.

Gorgeous rainbow. I am loving this weather, so nice to actually have a Spring this year.

And the earwigs, get some newspaper and roll it up tightly and they will crawl into the roll and you can just throw it and them away. Earwigs like to go into places where both the top and bottom of their bodies are touching something. That was a trick I learned in my Master Gardening classes.
