You'll just know to pen her next time to help her learn to be a mom! The lamb looks to be speckled brown with maybe blackish legs? They're always so cute.

That is his coloring and it's new to us.

Is he going to be wethered? Looks like a very cute little lamb.

Yes he will be. We plan on using him with Pete our other wether. Pete was a bottle lamb also and we use him to train skittish lambs and the occasional skittish ewe but we haven't had one of those in a long time.
36 hours makes a world of difference. This first picture is out of focus because the lamb was chasing our Aussie. He doesn't have a mom around to tell him he's not supposed to be herding the herding dog.

You sure he isn't asking "Are you my mother?"

This lamb is the first one that we have had that throws a temper tantrum. I had him outside with the dogs to get him to pee then put him in his kennel when we came back in. He started pacing side to side and pushed on the kennel door and when that didn't work for him, he backed up and reared up on his hind legs and slammed his front legs down on the floor. Pretty amazing change for a lamb that I thought wouldn't make it through the first day inside.

After all, he IS a ram! What a little stinker!

I guess you don't need to worry if he'll make it or not anymore
I hope he isn't too much of a pain. Most of my hens that go broody don't like the buster cage but deal with it. Nuit hated it and damaged her comb trying to fight her way out.

Sounds like his attitude makes a good candidate to wether!
