Lambs

In the last week the Ouessant flock have had five lambs, three girls and two boys. There is one set of twins which is quite rare for Quessant, they normally just have one. Canna had twins once before so we are thinking of keeping one of them in the hope that the lamb might inherit the tendency.
There is one ewe not had her lamb yet but her belly looks bit so hopefully she will soon.

Most of the flock (there are five ewes and a ram)

Gamboling happily

The other flock didn't do well last year and a lot of them died. There is only one ewe of a likely age to have a lamb and she hasn't yet. There are two female lambs (getting on for a year old now) and a ram as well.
