Ewe One had twins

Got home from work today to find Ewe One had just had twins.
A boy and a girl.

WOW TWINS!!!

this is the first time you've had twins right?
How exciting!
I bet they're just adorable.
Good job Ewe One!

yes. first time for twins for the black bellys
I think I need to build a lamb jug. The mob is nice but a bit curious

 

[Parsnip]

Are they both about the same size?

Glad the rest of the sheep are being decent haha.
I bet the ewe would like a bit of privacy though! She's got a lot on her plate right now!

Congrats on the new lambs! I don't have a jug but I did cordon off an area - about 16x8' - and the new ewe and her lamb stayed there for the first 3-4 days and then I let them out to rejoin the flock. That worked for me. I did try after 2 days to let her out but the ram was way too interested in her and I could see the lamb getting hurt. Another couple of days and the pheromones had died down and the second time I tried to reunite them, it was completely peaceful.

My ram is still a bit of dufus. I don't think he realizes he is a ram yet.
So he is behaving well at this point. I'm just hoping he figures this out when it's time.
The ewe lamb is a little smaller than the ram lamb.
This morning all were doing fine.
