I hadn't thought about bottle jaw, but lacking a pic it could also be that. Depending upon where you got these goats from and how long they've been in that pen, they might have started picking up a heavy load of parasites. Since goats like to eat high and not close to the ground, we've rarely had any parasite problems bad enough to cause bottle jaw, which is the result of parasite induced anemia.
If you can get a picture of it and post it, that would help a lot. Asking someone nearby who has experience to look at them would be a good idea, too. Finally, of course there is the vet.

PS- Goats tend to have a fairly high requirement for minerals and giving them a box of minerals suitable for sheep/goats would be a good idea, too.
