More lambs

The two ouessant ewes have had their lambs now. One was born on the 19th and one on the 20th. The one that was born first, started off quite weak, we never saw it feeding and it was smaller and wobblier than the one born a day later. Although we have still never seen it suckle, it seems to be getting stronger so we presume it must sometimes. We think it is a girl (from happening to see how it pees) but not sure about that yet. Both of them are tiny and cute, no clues to the sex of the other one yet.
Mums and babies
Of the sheep we expect to have lambs (the others being too young) there is only one remaining still not lambed. She is looking giantly fat and we expect it any moment. Last year she had one lamb, not sure if she might be having two she looks so huge, or maybe just a big one. We call her the great white wooly whale at the moment.
