Alright, well I was a perv and went out and took pictures of everyone's privates just to get opinions on, and be safer then sorry in case I am missing some obvious signs or something. The joke was I was posting naughty pictures for the online Rams lol.
Also turns out my one ewe has four nipples? Will that be a problem even though I am not breeding for show purposes? When I got her I remember checking and I swear she only had two.
Rose, Shetland ewe second time mom.
Fluffy, Romney ewe, first time breeding.
Kora, Jacobs ewe, first time breeding. *Has four nipples?*
Violet, Shetland ewe, first time bred.

I have two ewes with four teats...never been a problem...two bigger ones that are positioned where they should be will fill with milk...back two smaller ones won't...no lamb has ever gotten confused or had a problem with that. Funny thing is...the two with extra teats have the most milk of any of them.
Dolly is hanging lower tonight and must be taking pressure off her lungs as she was breathing better. No signs from her or Chickapee yet...waiting, waiting, waiting....hoping they are not waiting for our very cold temps tomorrow!
My girls have had very puffy girl parts now for awhile and still no lambs, but mine might be weird? LOL to porm for rams!

Hu, well thats odd? Maybe they are compensating for the extra teat or something? Either way as long as Kora is a good mom I dont care. Glad to hear that its not a problem
Fingers crossed for your poor old girl. She needs to have them now before the frigid temps come in.
Knowing my luck my girls will tease and torment me for months until finally they give birth in the middle of the night...
