The first one was born with the legs straight back rather than bent forwards. Lambs in this position often cant be born without assistance but nevertheless, all three doing well in the first 24 hours . But then one of them was rejected by the ewe ( it happens from time to time - the ewe is happy with just one) . Had we left the lamb with her it could have been seriously injured by the ewe.
So we now have our own caddy (orphan) lamb .
After exploring the kitchen
He has been brought inside and need to be bottle fed 4 hourly for the first few days and have somewhere to sleep.
And someone to hold it and help keep it warm.
