Oh, they are soooo cute! I don't see the swirls on their heads that would indicate horn buds, but that doesn't mean much coming from me. Just pray they are. I would love to have polled babies. I hate disbudding.

The black one looks like he could be polled. The gold and white one could be horned. Hard to tell for me without feeling their heads.
Is IO AGS, ADGA or both?

What do I feel for? Not feeling much of anything on either head!
IO is registered to both.

I have a polled buck that has nubs. Anyways I was hoping that his get would be polled but nope both kids had nubs (ok still a chance though they could be polled) I was told to look for swirls where the horns would / will be, no swirls no horns...
Have a strong feeling the brown and white will be horned...if so you can send that little adorable horned kid to me  )

You are feeling for points. Don't disbud unless you feel horn tips. Some polled goats have knobs.
Nigie horns seem to grow fairly quickly from what I have seen in my friends' herds.

I agree the bl/wh looks polled. In another week or so you should be able to tell for sure.
I thought some of the mini's horns developed a little slower, like at 2 weeks of age (Nigies or pygmies maybe?) Can't remember which one.

Adorable little Nigerian Babies! You probly won't be able to tell just yet if they are going to be polled or not , I think they are still too little with just being born and all.
Nigerians also throw alot of different colors so hopefully IO was bred to the goat she told you she was & not the brother. She could throw his colors too if they came from the same parents.
Lucky, Lucky you! Now you get to play with new little babies all winter & I have to wait till spring for mine!

Actually we both didn't know she was bred or she probably thought she didn't take or something haha but she was indeed bred and I thought it was pretty cool! Yay for winter babies!
