Mammy our ewe has finally got an udder. Her baby/babies are having a party I think they want out.

Haha!
I was for sure that there was just one baby in there! So I was surprised when the ewe lamb slipped out lol

~~ CONGRATS luvmypets!
Can't wait until your ewe lambs!
I notice with Wendy and MaryEllen, that the babies really started to move 10 or so days before lambing.

YOU SHOULD POST PICTURES, or make your own lambing thread

i tried making a thread but no one replied after a few posts. this is our first lamb....only other ewe had a stroke while lambing (whole story on thread hobby farm disaster and recovery)her and her lamb passed. Mammy is a first timer and our only other ewe. When i put pressure on her stomach the other day her back arched and her sides puffed out, when i put pressure on her stomach today it was firm, her ligament in her tail is soft. Her breed is unknown, but the ram is a humungous dorper. We think she is a cross, ill post a pic. She is huge, and is getting p and down constantly, her bely has been having a party for about five day, ahh im so excited. Were hoping for twins. Her teats/bag whatever you call it, is finally coming in, its about time. When i put my hand on her side it shifts. Any more advice would be helpful.

I worked at this hospital for my 3rd 12hr shift and came home to find my wool ewe has had 4 babies!! although the last one was only the size of my hand, not fully developed and still in the sac. SO she has one VERY small living ewe, and one larger ewe and one ram lamb!! I have seen everyone nurse and they are as dry as I can get them. Thankfully my husband said after dinner he was going to check on her because one of the sheep had been crying different. I immediately jumped up and got my mud boots off and ran out to the pasture. She had taken the three others out of the area of the dead one. As soon as I gathered them up and took them inside the sky opened and we had a nasty severe storm.
I have them inside but it is still wet. They are on fresh straw and have a heat lamp. I cant get them anywhere else. Do you all think they will be okay? I see another sleepless night in my future! It just like having my own babies again.

omg congrats first timer hoping for twins, her belly is doing the "i want out dance". Her area is pink and her udder is finally coming in. She is up and down all the time, AND she paws the ground and is non-stop eating. She looks back at her belly all the time, im crossing my fingers its any day now. Calling the vet tommorow so he can see when she'll lamb.

Thank you! Can you upload a pic of her parts? udder? Everyone on here seems to REALLY know what they are talking about. I NEVER EVER would have thought Cagney would have had 4 lambs. We have officially went from 5 ewes 2 rams to 7 lambs, 5 ewes and 2 rams although tomorrow is the end of the line for one of our rams. He obviously has not made one baby this year and is becoming aggressive soo.....he has been voted off the island.

oh well. I cant get a picture I cant find my camera...and dont want any ram lambs on. The vet is coming tommorow to check her out. Her udder is small but they can fill out really quick from what I hear. Thought I might add, her area is darker pick and puffy. Also somewhat dilated
