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.
Male goats (bucks) can sometimes exhibit aggressive behavior, especially during mating season. It is not common for bucks to intentionally hurt newborn baby goats (kids), but they may inadvertently cause harm if they are displaying dominance or aggressive behavior. It's best to separate bucks from does and kids during kidding season to minimize any risks.
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.
