As everyone knows I have had 2 does give birth to twins. Right now I have the does seperated from each other. They don't seem to want the other mom around their babies. And my 1 doe's daughter from last year does not seem to want anything to do with any of the babies. How do I and when do I put them together? I don't want anyone hurt. 1 doe had her babies on Sat and the other yesterday. The baby from last year headbutts the new babies. Not hard but I am worried she might hurt them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I would wait until the babies are pretty sturdy. Also give them places to hide and get away from the bigger goats. I usually keep my girls in their kidding pen for 2 to 3 weeks before putting them in with the rest of the herd.
