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

Is there some sheep shortage that your flock is trying to correct all by itself?

we blame it on two wet summers that produced an abnormal amount of grass which gave all our ewes an abundance of energy when it came to tupping time. We've never had so many triplets:)

Will they eventually do the spontaneous jump up in the air all together thing, or is that just goat kids? Which is the cutest thing in the history of cute things.

Sheep have the four-footed bounce gene too. With lambs it's mandatory after a few days and they learn to do the four-footed bouncing Tigger kangaroo run - some meld this with the four-footed bouncy crab run and bounce in directions their head is not pointing towards. We have an eight year-old ewe who still bounces.
