She may be lonely, in heat or she may be sick.
A doe is the name that can refer to a goat or a deer so it's both.
A billy goat (also known as a buck) is a male goat so the opposite would be a nanny goat (also known as a doe) which is a female goat.
nanny goat
A sow's counterpart might be a cow bovine, nanny goat, mare, doe and so forth.
no a wether *real name for a fixed buck has no hormones ... so he would not be able to tell you when a doe is in heat... a buck rag would work .. rub it on the face and front legs of a buck in rut and hang it in or bring it to your doe several times a day if she is in heat she will flag for you ..*wag her tail vigorously
A male goat is typically called a "buck" or a "billy." The term "mate" is often used to refer to the partner or companion of an animal, so a female goat who has mated with a billygoat would simply be referred to as a "female goat" or a "doe."
No - but you need to make sure that the teats your doe has do not have any faults so that the kids when born can easily suckle.
It depends on its breed, sex, age and pregnancy status. On average an adult goat is over 60 kg.
An older experienced doe can manage but generally if you want all the kids to do well you will have to supplement them and use good animal husbandry skills; reason being buck kids are usually bigger and the doe kids will struggle to get enough milk especially initially if left to fend for themselves. The best way is take the bigger two off the doe during the day ensuring the bigger ones have a tummy full and putting them back with her just on dark.
Billygoats are males. Female goats are called nannygoats. Many do refer to them as nannies and billies. However, breeders typically refer to them as does (female) and bucks (male). Babies are called kids, and we refer to them as bucklings and doelings to distinguish the males from females. Castrated males are called wethers. well duh
The doe could get pregnant on her next heat (each cycle takes 21 days) but it is recommended that you only let the doe kid once a year so that she can recover and gain weight lost during lactation etc
