@juleshomestead: Replying to @𝓒𝓸𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓷𝓮 ||-// 🇨🇦 here’s the best that I can explain all the details of why it would be the wrong thing to do to introduce her back to her mom in THIS situation
I’m choosing to trust the experienced homesteader who’s proven to raise dozens of baby goats from birth but thanks for coming out Corinne

This is Gregory, he was raised in the house on a bottle for same reason!! we slowly reintroduced him back outside and was fully outside by 6 months..but hes such a people goat and very strong willed and finds a way get out of the pasture if we are outside. Hes a great project manager for my husband and his friend 😂 (who were building fences to go around my trees so Greggy won't eat them 😂)

I don't know what the actual facts are on the "mom won't take her back because she smells wrong" issue, seems like you have that knowledge, but either way it's not relevant considering the fact that she can't compete with her THREE SIBLINGS and wasn't super motivated to nurse from Mom in the first place! She needs to EAT.

What city folks don’t understand is that sometimes mama’s reject their kids, especially when there’s multiples. You’re doing awesome and shame on those shaming you!!! Love love love this lil fighter!!! 💖

You’re kind to educate these folks rather than insist they mind their own business. I’m happy your darling baby is thriving.

My mom grew up on her family farm in the 70s and had a goat that they bottle fed. They named him Baby and he would follow them around like a dog. He would wait for them to get home from school. Bottle babies aren’t anything new. You did the right thing!!

Wait until they find out that you may possibly have to supplement one of the other babies because three is still a lot for a mama goat

Farmer to farmer you did the right thing… poor baby would’ve been shoved out of the way by bigger siblings and not getting any milk. Excited to see her journey!

This is wild. There are other ways, but years ago a friends cow lost her calf(dies shortly after birth) and the cow was beside herself. They bought a dairy calf that had been born within the last few days, skinned the dead calf, tied the skin to the new calf, and the mama accepted her adopted baby. A week later they removed the hide.

In Dutch there is a proverb which in English literally translate to: "The best helmsmen stand on shore"
It means it is much easier to criticize, judge, or give advice from the sidelines than it is to actually do the hard work yourself.
You are doing a great job with little Maggie and let the talkers talk. 💯👌 Much love and greetings from Suriname 🇸🇷💝👋

hey so I'm a vet tech with lots of experience and although I currently do baby horses, not baby goats, they're quite similar. neither one of you are 100% correct about the "myth" part. changing scent *can* be one reason for maternal rejection in many species, but it's really dependent on the individual, and the earlier you attempt reunification, the better the chances. also there are things you can do to increase the odds, such as wiping the baby down with mother's urine before reintroduction. there are no guarantees either way but it's usually worth a try. that being said, you've done nothing wrong, and you definitely saved baby with your intervention. I love a happy story!
