I'm having a hard time letting the moms and babies back out....Totally being an overly worried chicken about it...Getting an area by the barn enclosed to let them out in there first, then later into the general population once I'm sure they are all keeping up and doing well.
Wind gusts of up to 60MPH over night and tomorrow, so won't be moving the moms n babies out until that calms down. But their shelter is ready! They'll have a 70x90ft or so area to graze, roam and explore the world and learning to stick with their own mom and avoide others as to not get head butted.
And now weather says 80MPH possible wind gusts.... =/
I may be blown away while coming back from feeding the little lamb!
Oh, speaking of that little miss, she is in her mom's lambing jug on her own, brother sold today, longish and personal buyer story.
Anywho, she's in there so she is safe from her mom smashing her, safe from weather and so she can practice walking.
I went to feed her at 6pm and she got up!! Then shuffled over to me for her bottle!!
I feel like I need to choose a name for her from this year's theme list, but don't want to get too attached if I end up having to put her down because she can't live a decent life as a pet in the end....ugh...Why are they so cute?!
I was updating my website and......I named her Mai. Her brother is named Cabba.
Whichever mutt ewe I end up keeping will be Majin & the other Tokitoki.
Available ram from Marley is named Daizenshuu, his sister, that I am keeping, is Malaka.
The black ram w/white spot on his head from Patchie is Krillin and I'm keeping him to try for spotted Babydolls.
Going out soon to feed Mai. Don't have good floors for her in the house, she needs traction and we have wood and tile floors, so that would be detrimental to her progress, so she will continue to live in the barn full time.
