Never seen a purebred Babydoll come out with those colors (didn't even know it was possible)...

Congrats on your 250% lambing rate :)
I've seen mix color lambs, but it's never "pointed" style like he is. I was so surprised and I knew I had to keep him. Wether or ram, he is just so pretty!
Usually they are spotted or "cow-like" and not like this guy!

Pics I found online.

Hmmm...very interesting. I wonder how the breeders were able to get spotted sheep if they are purebred? It would be interesting to know if any of the other down-type breeds have spotted genetics, or if they were completely bred out of them.

They are a bit hunched over and not wanting to move too much today. But it is cold, hoping they will perk up as the temps go up. Don't have a little coat for them, supposed to rain tomorrow or the next day, don't want them to get sick if I don't get the coats off in time.

They should not need coats. i am sure they will cuddle up to each other and/or the mama. Their natural coat may not be as thick as it will be when they grow but should still keep them warm :)
