That would be nice, but not holding my breath on that...so far through the years we have only had one set of twins.

UPDATE HERE
Okay, so the daughter of Wendy, MaryEllen, has been acting funky the past 2 hours.
What are the signs of pregnancy toxemia?
I'm such a newbie at this holy poops.
But yeah, I went and watched her for a good half hour, and she just stood still mostly.
She's alert enough, but groans when she moves.
She's also been yawning a lot and curling her upper lip?
Plus she's arching her back.
She's not due for another month...
While everyone else is ruminating. MaryEllen has not been.
Bloat? Ketosis? Having a baby?
Or is she just darned uncomfortable and being a whiny ewe?

I don't know...sorry, and hope someone comes on to give you good advice.
About the yawning and lip curling and staring into space...my ewes did that a month ago for a few days and I was sure they were going into labour soon...those are the two I'm still waiting on...thud...

MaryEllen does have foul breath. BUT she's had foul breath ever since I've gotten her.
She's alert enough, and her head isn't droopy.
She's just groaning and mumbling and acting like she doesn't feel well.
I'll go down to the barn and check on her before it gets too dark!

I sat and watched until all of them lied down and started chewing up cuds.
Wendy's baby is having a party in there let me tell you!
It's like, on the lower-ish right hand side and I swear I saw it roll around more than once.
Wendy started groaning and pawing at the ground, so I watched a bit more.
THEN she got comfortable(as much as she can get) and plopped down.
Shortly after she started ruminating.
SO ALL IS WELL FOR NOW
phew

Is her foul breath smelling like acetone or chemically at all? Today when I was cuddling Dixie she burped in my face and it was awful...smelly cud burp. More of a yucko cud fermented hay smell.
