In my opinion, I would not let a doe with kids be in the same pen a a billy goat. Since most billies have horns, one charge would no doubt kill the kids with ease.
It's much safer to house billies in separate pens, does and wethers in other. Unless the does have kids, then them separately as well.
For about the first week it is good to keep the new momma and her babies in a pen all by their self. In this time the momma and the new babies will be bonding and learning who each other are. So when they are turned back into the herd they will all stay together, and the mother will protect her babies.
Some males have been known to hurt new babies. Try to keep the male away from the new babies.
Goats are a different species to sheep but they are both ruminants. A male sheep is called a ram, a male goat is called a buck but castrated male goats and sheep are called wethers.

Yes, seeing that male goats dont have udders they have testes. The process of making milk is so that the baby goats can be nourished. Since, for the most part, male goats do not raise their offspirng they have no need for udders.
