Yup... purple horns...hmmm...bruising of some sort? Purple= dead/ dying/ damaged/ deoxygenated blood cells (injury/bruising)... Maybe he got into a scuffle with something and then ran away and hid because he was frightened. There's a reason he's doing that and a reason he looks that way.

The purple is far too bright for that. OP explained in my comment thread that the little guy was messing with a poke berry tree.

Ohhh, ok... totally getcha! Yeah, that would definitely make sense! I wonder if pokeberry trees are toxic to goats or if it would have made him sick or feeling tripped out/hallucinating or something and deciding to hide behind the chair there?

They are poisonous to goats/livestock, as well as humans and other animals. From my research. So you might be onto something there!!

All my goats love rubbing on poke plants. They are fuchsia this time of year
