Winter Wonderland- baby with bad luck

[DixieLace]

We live in KY and the night of the horrible ice storm this baby was born. she has a little male twin. she was tiny and the mother refused her so she is now a house goat spoiled rotten and goes EVERYWHERE with me. I took her out to the barn yesturday and she refuses to admit she is a goat lol. she is slowly fitting in and as soon as weather permits she will be back at home with her own kind

I find that very hard to believe, lol. She looks so comfy and at home. you should just house break her and call it a job! very sweet.

What kind is she? That shot is priceless!!! I have to agree with beccachow though. This is NOT going to be a goat that will live in the barn willingly. You have done it now. Just admit it and accept it for what it is. LOL

She's adorable!! I just finally moved my house goat out.

she is a African Pygmy... her name is Lucy. it seems the others in the herd decided to all use the ice storm to their birthing benefit also ha! we have had 3 boer goats born and a total of 5 pygmys born within 2 weeks!!!!! one set of boer twins and a single boer. a set of twin pygmys and 3 single babies. all are doing great! When Lucy and her twin were born she was smaller than him by a considerable amount but not a concerning amount. I stood them side by side yesturday and she is now almost an inch taller than him! and much more filled out! The concoction I made for formula has worked wonderful!

and btw the topic of housetraining has come up and is being processed through our heads lol. my husband is not quite as partial to this as I am (I would have noah's ark in my house if I could) he was raised in a house were animals were outside me on the other hand not so much! haha. she is such a wonderful pet and my 2 yr old LOVES her!!!!!!!!!

She is awfully cute but I also Love my Pygmies & Nigerians & as hard as it is to leave them in the barn sometimes I still do. A goat is a goat & I know you can house break them but I could still see them jumping on the furniture & tables & nibbling & chewing on anything & everything. Nope at my house only dogs in the house here.
