Welcome to BYH! :frow

Looking at their teeth will help... @SheepGirl has a resource for this however I don't trust in the method.

Too many vets have looked at our goats teeth and been all over the map. LOL :D

Congrats on your new additions.

If that is chicken feed you will need to remove it asap. If it is goat feed you will need to make sure they are use to free feeding as many will gorge themselves and end up with bloat. Bloat, if not caught and treated quickly, can cause death.

Yes that was chicken feed. they spend their 1st 2 nights in the chicken coop as their out door set up was not ready yet for them. they are all out of the coop now and the chickens are much happier too.
