I have ND doeling and buckling siblings living in the same pen. At what age should they be separated? They are 12 week old at the moment.

I'd separate them now. It is not at all common, but I have had a couple 3-month-old does that came into heat. As for the buckling, there are people who swear they've had a buck that age breed a doe accidentally, but I've had six-month-old bucks that couldn't figure out how to breed a doe. It's really individual, so most people err on the side of caution.
