We spent a wonderful spring day moving sheds to the lambing paddock. Only a week left until we should start seeing lambs!
While dad moved sheds the kids had wheelbarrow rides…
The sheep romped…
and ate…
Dugur watched…
and the chickens did… chicken things.

Very close, I hope, to lambing…
Part Border Collie, part lamb…little Charlie loves to chase the chickens.
Proud Mama, Drifa!
Drifa with her ram lamb Finn, and ewe lamb Fern.
Finn, was the first to arrive and had a perfect delivery. Little Fern was the last to make her appearance. Her front feet were coming out but no head. She had it way off to the side and twisted back. At 2 am I was convinced this was a headless lamb… I was about to give up fishing for it when it last I caught hold of it. It took several more minutes trying to align it correctly and finally pull her out. She span right to life and got busy looking for something to eat!
Drifa is such a good mamma. She was holding perfectly still while letting little Finn nurse and was licking little Fern off right after she was born. Fern, while trying to figure out her legs kept going backwards and Drifa would stretch her neck a little further and keep cleaning and holding perfectly still!
The chicken stomper, Miss Freckles! Poor henny was just trying to find a spot to lay eggs, she decided that next Freckles baby was not the spot!
Eking closer!
