My last lambing ever. But seems that way.

Lol. Yes, it is easy to feel sorry for them. But I am not going too. Would be different if the lamb was struggling.

Will do. The lambs are happy and the ewe is coping with eating and drinking in the adopter gate. Annoyingly she is my bottle fed lamb from 2 years ago - her mum died just after giving birth - she usually follows me everywhere.

Hope not. We had that scenario 6 years ago when we had the lamb at home for two days because the ewe was so unwell. It took then only 3 hours. So hoping that when her milk goes through the lamb, it works now too.

How early do you wean them? I can give them a bottle to supplement - all the lambs we ever gave bottle to help, absolutely thrived.

Thank you. Only single is a week old. We are lambing in a polytunnel so it is easy to look after the ewe and the lambs. What age should I offer creep to these lambs? Last year we had a ewe with twins that had only one milk duct active and I left both lambs with her, but gave a supplementary...

Hi, after avfew years of lambing, we just had our first triplets yesterday. All good and active now after a bit of fuss. Mum feeds all three and is amazing with them. Should I start suplementing with a bottle to help the ewe or just leave her to it? She has dry feed ad lib and high quality hay...
