Her mouth is out of control

I have a doe that just won't shut up.

She carries on before I milk her, will quiet down for an hour or two them starts back to carrying on for the rest of the day.

She has her feed when I milk and has access to hay, browse, water, and is in a large fenced area with sun and woods.

She is in with my buck as i sold everyone else about 3 weeks ago.

She's never carried on like this.
What's her deal?
Do bucks not make good companions?

She misses her herd and very few bucks make good companions for does.

Also, she may be in heat, and if so, the buck will get her pregnant for sure. (When our does go into heat, they will. Not. Be. Quiet.)

I have had a few goats during the years that their talking got on my last nerve either their tone of voice or the constant noise.

They where sold.

Ive owned her since a kid. She's never been this vocal.

I guess she's lonely since everyone left.
My buck only seems to care when he's completely alone. Poor girl.
She's been "watching" me lately.
Lays right on the hill positioned where she can look in all the south facing Windows and doors.

Aw that makes me kind of sad.
It's going to be awhile before I can add another.
There just never seems to be anything I'm looking for :/
