I hope you will all sleep well tonight and that the sheep which haven't given birth will put the deliveries on hold overnight so you can rest.
Goodnight , sleep well
you too g'night
Thanks for answering my question too Lynda. Take care
Oh dear... I can well imagine. I'm feeling a bit like that myself after going to sleep late and being up in the night to see the sheep give birth. Have a good and restful sleep.
iM OFF TO BED NOW mARGARET AS IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A long 24 hours..... as you can tell from the typos... Howard actually put a mug of milk in the cupboard this lunchtime instead of the microwave and wondered why it was taking a while to boil.... .... brain freeze
Yes, her appointment was for two o'clock and she had to wait until 2.30 but she said that she didn't mind having to wait.
really... ? Im glad she saw it then....
Sorry about the third lamb... I should have said ..
She watched on her phone.
Ah right. Linda was watching the birth this afternoon and was made up that she saw it. She was actually in the hairdressers and was so glad that she had to wait for her appointment so she could watch Lambwatch.
only two that survived unfortunately
I'm glad she is okay... it looked a bit serious just looking at the camgrabs. Did she only have twins? I thought she looked big enough to have been carrying triplets.
yes she is ok Margaret thanks but as a precaution, we have given her some calcium and vitamins just to make sure she is not going short
Is the sheep okay that gave birth this afternoon? Just been looking at the camgrabs .
hOWARD TO A LAMB OUT OF THE BARN ABOUT 3/4 HOUR AFTER THE SECOND BIRTH
Yes I looked , it is earlier today the second birth was very quik at 4.06.
Hello, I saw both births last night & noted the times on the shoutout page , if you go back you could find the , if I remember the first was about 3.15 & the second about an hour later.
The lambs are up by mama's head, one dark, one white. They are behind the haybale from one angle, but on the other camera you can see them both, quite healthy looking and on their feet.
No, just two, that I saw. I missed the first birth but watched the second. Shortly after that Howard put up the railings and she and the two lambs are in there.
Did the ewe have triplets this pm? one thats in the shippon near the hay cage
A very curious ewe looking at the newborns, and wondering why she can't have some of her own. Just wait, lass. They're coming!
Time to do a little housework, here! Wonderful to be able to watch all these and to see our LW friends (I mean the people, but the sheep, too.)
Love the image of Howard just sitting on the bale of hay.
Yes, he could... didn't think of that
He may be trying to get the lambs attached to their first breakfast.
I think he's checking whether there is any milk coming through or he could be checking her tum for anymore lambs.
Howard seems to be checking.
This sheep was so big, she might have a third one...
I think maybe that's my first live birth - I always miss them.
Dan has stopped the pics rolling... great. So good to see the second one born
It's a dark one and quite lively. Good sign.
Here's the second one - just shook it's little head.
If you go to the Showcase and click on the last picture you can see the lamb just after it appeared.
Missed the actual event by a few seconds but the lamb looks quite lively
Missed the whole thing - trying to sort out new fridge! Will be there be another?
The ewe has a friend who's longing a bit helpless about this process!
She's been star gazing which means she's pushing (I think)
Yes, you're right - she does look close to lambing. Panting and restless.
Found the pics, Margaret! They are lovely wee lambs. Thanks for the tips. I had the page enlarged, and didn't see the links at the top when I looked for them.
One sheep is looking close to lambing.... near the wall
I can see one of the new babies inside the enclosure. All quiet. Now to check for pictures.
Hi Helen, my pic is okay now. Go to Gallery and click on Camgrabs Showcase or go to Camgrabs to see all of the pics.
Mine's fine here but it's several hours later than Margaret's post. Could someone help me to find Camgrabs - just the recent saves, so I can see the new babies? I've forgotten where they are on the page. thanks.
I did before and again just now but it is still saying no signal...
Good morning... no signal
The lambs have lusty voices. Guess I should be off to bed...
04.38.30 here is Howard to check on the situation, He's not getting much sleep..
I guess I'm the only person watching - albeit half a world away!
Hope she didnt lay on the first one...
Baby has figuared out where the food is...
lamb is standing while mum gives it a clean up.
Birth @ 03.12.30 . I guess Howard was watching as he was there a minute later. The ewe is fussing over baby...
Off to bed for me. Guess I won't see this. Good night, girls.
She does sound like a steam engine, huffing and puffing.
She is panting. I can see her, and she's looking straight into the camera.
