Took me by surprise

[Pioneer Chicken]

No name….I am open to suggestions. I am terrible at naming my animals and the ones who have names, its only because they came with them.

Hmmm...what about naming her Surprise since she came unexpectedly (&, of course, most welcomely, right?)?

Thanks Redbrush! The new little lamb did great her first night and is now just over 48 hours old. Today she started doing a lot of the cute little hopping and skipping and bucking - I can stand and watch for a long, long time

I can do the same with my goat kids. They're so entertaining and adorable! I'd hold 'em all day if I could; they're just too precious!

Oooh, I like that name idea! She was definitely welcome - she was just a surprise because in the course of the day I'd talked myself into believing she was still several weeks away. Of course now I have two more ewes looking very pregnant and I'm constantly checking to see if there's any progress from them and they probably WILL wait several more weeks….

What kind of sheep are these? I have a ewe that looks just like this about to pop any day now. I also have a lamb that looks kind of like the baby, she is white but with one brown ear, brown spots on both sides, and brown spots over her eyes, but she was born from a different ewe. I got my ewes from a rescuer when they were lambs and she didn't know what breeds they were but I'd like to know even if it's just a guess. I was very surprised when her mom lambed a few weeks ago, lol, ours have always lambed in April. Here's a pic of her the day she was born.

Oh, how cute! My ewe is full Dorset while my ram is half Dorper and half Romanov. The colored spots are from the ram as the ewe is all white.

That's awesome! Do you use their wool? My lamb's sire was a Suffolk and the mom is part wool/part hair, she spent her first summer as a lamb so I don't know if she will shed or not this next summer. I also have the mom's dam and she is a wooly but she also came from the rescuer and I don't know her breed. I may just post a thread with pics of her and try to get everyone's input on what they think her breed or mix of breeds are.

We have yet to shear them. We got them as lambs last summer so this year will be the first year we shear. I don't have any plans for the wool but if anyone has any ideas…..

Beautiful lamb. Yes, we are excited for you!! I have a name for your spotted lamb. Dit-Dot. The spots look more like dots than spots, at least to me. Love the lamb!

It's almost St. Patty's day. I say her name is Limerick
