Thank you. Yes, the ones born earlier are already doing summersaults and making us laugh!
Some sheep breeds are black, or brown, or a mixture of colours (see, for example https://www.flickr.com/photos/christophe...039128845/ and http://media.photobucket.com/user/twiste...6.jpg.html ). Our lambs this year have been a mixture of cream-coloured, black and brown, depending on the ewe and the ram history. We don't know the history as we only bought the flock some weeks ago (to keep Zina company), and the previous flock-persons had little idea of what had gone on, with neighbours' rams breaking in, etc!
Last year we planned to stop having lambs and just to keep our two senior ewes, Josette and Zina, who both had known us from birth as "bottle babies". But those plans were dashed when our beloved Josette had to be euthanised. So we got some more ewes to keep Zina company, and those ewes had already been tupped last autumn.
Mollie did have triplets the year before last, according to the previous caretakers. But as she had such a hard time this year, she is going into retirement with Zina!
