home tonight.
I had to work at a pottery sale today, so
I stopped in at 2:30 on my way to check up on
Bella. She was not in labour - and was
quite contendedly relaxing in her stall.
So - on my way I went.
I got home at 8 pm tonight to this little surprise.
A lovely little yuglet socket EWE lamb.
She's not quite what I expected - since Bella is
a boring old yuglet (not my words) - and
Bernard is a black ram with a white krunet.
I was kind of expecting possibly a gray yuglet like her mom.
Oh well - surprises are nice.
By the way - Bella did a lovely job and presented me
with not one - but 2 lovely little EWE lambs
.This is more like what I expected.
What is it with all these kissing lambs!!
Anyway - the count stands at:
2 ewes - 2 rams.
2 down - 3 more to go.
We aren't expecting more lambs until around the 15th of June - so we have a little break in the action now.
And while we wait - I'll leave you with a picture
of my absolute favourite chicken.
This is "chuckie" - she's a silver laced cochin.
And she's mad at me - cause I just took her off
the nest - hence the major fluffy look.
Now - does that look fierce to you?

Hi Thirry - she's a cutie isn't she.
Yuglet, flecket, sokket are the markings.
Have you started your flock yet?
Congratulations Tammy! She looks like an HST to me ~ I don't see any body white....
What a beauty!
You know you're right Nancy - I was thinking she had a spot on one side - but it's not there - it must have been the mottling at the top of one leg. She doesn't have a white tail either - guess she's just and HS ;-)
Oh my gosh they are so darn cute ;)
Think my neighbours would notice the difference between them and a dog?
LOL
HUGS

Kim - these guys are so cute - your neighbours will want one too!
So I wouldn't worry about it.
