[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 692488, member: 539"] They will be fine. My goats are provided with open-front loafing sheds that are bedded with a couple of inches of straw or trash hay. Does with kids have a heat lamp for the first 2-3 days after kidding, depending on the weather. Even then, if the days are above freezing, the heat lamps are shut off until nightfall. Nothing around here is shut up in a barn, it just isn't a healthy environment for them. Hell, even an open-fronted shed can build up enough ammonia due to the urine to make it an unhealthy environment if it isn't cleaned out regularly - and it's ventilated! [/QUOTE]
