Weird poop

[Genipher]

Brought home our new Nigerian Dwarf goats this last Wednesday. Today (3 days later) I noticed what looked like turds, rather than loose poop pellets, in the goat area.

The goats are 2 months old. The lady I bought them from gave them CDT shots and Ivermectin shortly before I brought them home. They were just weaned.

We have a lot of grass, mint, blackberries, etc that these girls have been eating. Their previous pen was mostly dirt, blackberries, and some short grass.

I've given them small amounts of BOSS, alfalfa pellets, and whole oats. They also have hay.

They're constantly moving, "talking", and happily interacting...not acting sick at all.

Should I be worried about the turd-like poops?

Edit to add: there are loose pellets mixed amongst the weird poo, too... I'm not sure which goat is leaving the big turds...and neither have messy rears

Diet change, and worming....this should clear up shortly, , make sure the have hay, back off the BOSS and alphalpa pellets till they adjust to their green foods that are new to them right now. Good luck

Thank you!! I was starting to worry it was something serious. I really don't want to lose them after waiting so long to get them.

They should be fine, your just trying to be a great goat ma, and give them everything that you have read that they eat, feed changes always equal poop changes. The answer is to make slow changes and don't add too much extras, and when mine are out eating the greens, i cut back on everything except hay and a smaller portion of pellets

So we've had Alice and Lucy for 12 days now and Alice (mostly white) is still pooping "logs". She's walking, running, eating, chewing cud, etc all fine...is she still just adjusting to her new diet? . I've also noticed her belly is rounder than her sister's and it's pretty tight. Is that normal?
Her sister, Lucy, has normal poop and her tummy isn't as round or tight.
