Lambs at Last
Yesterday 2 lovely baby lambs arrived. Our neighbour works on a farm, and on hearing we were looking for lambs popped a couple in her boot and delivered them last night. One is a 4 week old orphan, and the other is one of triplets which the ewe couldnt look after.
We had made a lovely comfy coral, which they promptly jumped out of. After several attempts at lamb proofing their coral we stacked straw bales three high and they now have a Lamb Colditz in the barn for cold, wet days and nights. During the day they are going to be running out in middle field.
The children are just loving feeding them their milk - and the lambs have caught on very quickly and come charging over when they catch sight of a bottle.
