I was blessed with two perfect lambs yesterday and both are happy and nursing. It is visible they both have full and rounded tummies. So they will play for ten minutes to an hour and then lay down to rest. I have a few questions because I worry about every little detail and I want to make sure everything is normal to ensure they are healthy.
So the Ram lamb lays down a lot, I don't know if he's just tired, but he does it more than his sister. However his sister is a mamas girl and follows her around the pen while the brother relaxes and watches. He does get up to nurse and hop around so I'm not overly concerned. He does however poop frequently, so much tonight it
got backed up and it was on his tail and back of his legs and just all over his butt. Its the right consistency so again Im trying not to worry. I saw his sister urinate and pass her meconium but I haven't seen her poop the orangey stuff yet. Is any of this reason to worry? It seems a bit silly, I just want to double check!
