Whats going on in my herd?!?

I have a 8/9 month old female goat that I think is preggo that I have had for about 115 days. Late May I bought two sisters that were about 2 months old when I got them. One is brown and one is white.

The older female likes to try and mount the brown one. Shell let her stand by her side and do what ever around her. The little brown one didnt like her at all at first and always wanted to stay next to her sister. Over a course of time the little brown one likes to stay by the older goat and sometimes hangs out with her sister.

Ive noticed that the older one really really bullies my little white one. She doesnt like her to be around her sister and doesnt let her lay by them either. Its raining out right now and I just saw the oldest shove the white one through the chicken wire (they stay in an old chicken coop) out into the rain. When the white one tried to come back in she shoved her out again forcing her to take refuge under the rabbit hutch.


Ive noticed the white one has diarrhea for past couple days. Her diet is just like the other two, her gums and eyes are clear, shes drinking and eating.. Could it be stress?


Why is my oldest not letting her around her sister?

Sounds like it's the "chain of command"

The runny poo could be stress - does she have a temp?

Maybe it's time for a fourth goat to keep your little white one company!

I know shes queen bee but why would she single this one out??

They just do as far as I know. My wether only picks on one of his younger sisters (funny, she's white too!) and leaves the tan one alone. It's like picking out the weakest link.
