Where to put this mom to be?

[MamaDee]

I have two goat pens--the main pen and a smaller one. In the smaller pen is a doe that kidded yesterday with her two kids. In the main pen is a doe who was due yesterday and three other does (one bred, one not.)

Should I leave the mom to be in the main pen or move her in with the brand new mom and her kids?

The doe yesterday had her first kid in the main pen just before I got to her and did just fine. Everyone left her alone. I would have left her in there but she had the kid right under the food troughs. So I moved them both to the smaller pen, where she finished kidding.

Now I don't know what to do with mom number 2.

Do you have a stall in a barn or something like that where you could move the mom that has already kidded or the mom that's ready to kid? What about a dog kennel or a way you can section off part of the main goat pen area that your talking about?
I like to keep my mom seperated with there kids a little while so they can bond & no body else sticking there noses in but not everyone does that. All depends on each goat & our goat practices, etc.
