Baby Lamb Pictures plus how to make a splint out of chocolate ice cream
Triplets this time - two boys and a girl. The last boy was smaller than the others and later that morning we noticed he was having difficulty walking. Both front legs were knuckling over so he was walking on his wrists. This happens from time to time - no one’s completely sure of the reason but if you splint the legs the muscles can often strengthen and the lamb can be back gambolling splint-free in a week or so. The only problem is finding a splint.
The best are wooden lolly sticks but we didn’t have any in the house so…
We had to drive into town and buy a pack of Magnum chocolate covered ice creams and - for medical purposes only - consume two as quickly as possible. The things shepherds have to do for their flock:) Below is a picture of the result (not me with chocolate all over my face but one freshly splinted lamb.

And here they all are in their nest, sheltering from the drizzle.
