Pioneer Chicken
True BYH Addict
This morning, we saw animal control trying to catch a sheep. We helped them and she is safely in one of our goat pens away from my goats.
I live in the suburbs and I don’t know anyone who has sheep. It’s not impossible for someone to have sheep- I have seen horses and plenty of chickens in the neighborhood area. I have posted on Next Door and contacted our local AG services and am waiting for a call back. I’m not really sure what to do next.
I am near positive she is in labor. Her stomach is sunk in, udder is full, and ligaments gone. I have not fed her any grain because I know their diet is different than a goats due to copper (and other things?). She does have hay and water available. Checking on and watching her every hour or so - just like I would my goats.
If I can’t find her owners, my dad knows someone who raises sheep. In the meantime, what should I do for this girl? Or is that all I can do?
