So it was a wet and very windy night last night , the latest lambs 'first night'. Adn we were concerned about hypothermia - small lambs, a string wind and intermittent driving hail are not a welcoming combination. Some details are here of hypothermia in lambs
We didn’t measure their temperatures - memo for next time : it would be a good idea to see of the symptoms we were seeing ( 'mild hypothermia' ) were actually due to temperature of just due to general miserableness .
So we brought them inside for the night into a small pen and then added some straw bales and some hay and some food and water for the mother.
All OK the next morning , so let out into the big wide world.
