Proposed goat space
My DH is planning on building me a pole barn. In said barn, I plan on housing chickens, rabbits and goats.
I want to have a doe and a wether. The wether is to keep the doe company. We don't require much in the way of milk so one doe is more than sufficient for our needs. Once her babies are born they will either be sold or go to freezer camp (depending on their sex) once they are old enough. So I'd say minimum 2, maximum 5 (if she has triplets).
I'd planned on putting aside a 7' 3" x 15' 3" space inside the barn for them. In addition I'd planned on making a covered outside area of the same size. I'll be using the covered area for milking in the morning.
Will this be enough space for them?
