They need house/shelter, just like other domestic animals for staying at night and also for security and preventing them from adverse climate, cold, predators, sunlight etc. Your goats' housing should be warm, dry, draught-free and well-ventilated. Big and sturdy enough for all goats to rest and feed comfortably.

Hay such as grassy Lucerne/barley hay is good, other roughage such as tree branches (strictly suitable for goats) should be a regular additive to their diet throughout their whole lives. Goats are not grazers and will prefer branches and low shrubs. Goats are known as browsers.
