Lambs (good news!), rabbits (bad news)

The first lamb has been born. In the Ouessant flock. We are not sure if the other flock will have lambs as the ram died around mating time. There is a young ram in there, but he might not have been old enough to do the business at the time.

Not a good photo, but you can see her to the right of the photo, by her mum sitting down.

Saddly the baby rabbits have died, we think of cold because although the nest had plenty of hair it didn't have enough hay at the bottom and the nest box is metal. If we had believed they were really coming we would have made a better starter nest for her (quite a few of them don't manage to do it very thoroughly, I guess a hole in the ground works better in some way.
