I get to take pygmy goats for 4-h this year and I'm real excited it'll be the first time I've ever raised goats. I was wondering how much room 2 pygmy goats would need house and pen wise. I live in the country with a big yard and woods,we also have chickens(of course),ducks,rabbits,dogs,cats,and I can't wait to get into goats. Any raising tips would be appreciated
 
the minimum indoor housing for 2 would be around 12 square feet (like a 6x6 ft stall or shed), but bigger isn't bad, and if you are planning on breeding them and letting them raise the babies, i would add more to hav room for them...remember, twins and triplets isn't uncommon!
outdoor space would be a minimum of 30 square feet, but they would appreciate more if possible :) They sure love to play and explore!
That's so exciting to get goats, good luck!!
