Let Periwinkle and her lamb out. Moved Marshmallow and her lamb into the larger pen. Her other lamb suddenly developed rapid breathing and passed.
Latte's lamb got docked & tagged.

Vanilla doesn't look ready to lamb at all.
Tatiana's udder seems larger today! Funny how she was one of the first to lamb last year and is one of the last to go this year!
Searching last year's forum, Matilda didn't lamb. The other ewes due along with Matilda are Eloise & Lucia. I think Eloise didn't feel like she had any udder yet.

Fed everyone lunch, Eloise and Matilda don't feel like they have any udder. :(

Since Matilda is by Twinkie, I'll give her a 3rd chance before selling her.

Tatiana's udder looks fuller still, but no lambs yet.


Lucia had an ewe lamb!
Black, RR, NABSSAR, sire is Sebastian.
Of course, everyone wants OEBSR this year...:rolleyes:

So, it's all dependent upon Vanilla having twin ewes! :fl


Been looking up how to cook lamb, deboned, as I found an outlet for dead stuff & I'll have tons of rams to process.


Chickens have been stealing creep feed, so they get to live locked up for a good long while or until someone buys them. Rooster already lives in his own crate, since he's decided to be nasty like his dad.


Realized that I was missing a black udder to feel, found Lucia & lamb!
Trimmed her eyes so she could see her lamb.

Let Periwinkle and Marshmallow out today.

Matilda looks like maybe a single is in there, but no udder nor hooha changes. Eloise doesn't look round enough for a lamb to be in there.

See? No roundness to her at all. =/

But she does have my preferred head, fuzzy level ears, tons of wool, but still has open eyes.

Oh, and Baleen practically lives in here, lol. Which has helped get others in there to eat.

Now considering I'm a goatie person and not a sheep person (although I adore your babydolls) I don't think that is a ram in the bottom of the next to last picture. Poor thing looks too scrawny to be one of your rams. :)

Same with the two on the left in the background.

;)
