Where are the lambs?

Normally by the end of March almost all the lambs are born, with the odd straggler in April and maybe May. At the moment there is just one lamb!
We are not sure what is happening, it could be wishful thinking, but we think the rest of the Ouessant ewes look fatter than the one who has had the lamb. This flock have the same ram as last year, so no reason they shouldn't have lambs. The other flock the ram died around mating time and there is just a young ram so we have less feeling that they certainly should have lambs.
