Default Re: Lambing Live (sort of)

Just the sheep here (and hamsters) and they’re very much a work situation. Next door has a lot of animals so we’re lucky to look out in a couple of goats, geese and a horse. Most are being kept in sheds now though so they don’t walk all over other people’s land- risk of spreading infection sadly. Good that they are being thoughtful about that though.

We have had lambs in the house. A couple of years ago weather was very bad and some were sick and had to be nurses to health inside in a box next to a radiator. I can tell you they are very noisy! And if they climb out of the box, can create havoc (the sick ones couldn’t climb out but as they recovered they did! I had some sleepless nights sitting up keeping an eye on them. I have a video of one if the recovered lambs from that year, wandering round the kitchen (supervised). Called that one “Noisy”. Their instinct is to try and find a teat to feed from so would stick their head under anything - including the shoe rack!
