They're a bit variable but goats on heat usually display behaviour changes like yelling their head off to attract a male... The male kid was likely "capable" at 3 months (they're promiscuous) but the female would've had to be on heat - which, for most goats happens in fall through early spring on a 3-week cycle, ish. However, if the male was "fixed" at 3 months and now they're 9 months, well their pregnancy lasts about 5 months, so the figures don't add up. I don't know whether pygmy goats have any variation on when during the year they could be on heat, seems a tad early to me, but we never kept that breeed.
We used to breed goats and it's quite possible for a kid to give birth shortly before they're 1 year old, but that's kinda frowned on for responsible breeding.
