Question Can we play 'who's the daddy?'

Attachment 19149Daisy is mama's daughter, she & duke were
Twins. We believed daisy was bred to duke
(Not the first time, long story) but our neighbor's
Nigerian also had a fence breech in the same time
Frame... The doeling produced in question; petunia
Is 6mo this wk, but very small.
Thoughts? I'll add photos.

Sorry, totally confused here - so you're asking about who Petunia's daddy is.
Daisy may have been bred by twin bro Duke - both Daisy and Duke you provided pics above,... or possibly the neighbor's Nigerian, which is not pictured above. Right?

If so, might be easier if we had pics of the alternate possible buck (the nigerian).

Oops yes that'd help lol (I did not include a photo of duke)
neighbor's nigi was just plain black.
Let me add a photo of duke
Trying to figure out petunia's father, duke (daisy's twin, mama's kids ) or neighbor's buck.
To me, petunia looks just like mama goat but SMALL.
So I'm just not sure.

LOL They sold him, he kept getting out.
I don't think we will end up keeping her, she's ADORABLE but
not sure she'll grow big enough. We can't keep them all, I
keep telling myself that anyhow
Time will tell I suppose.
