Animal Update

Cats and their silly poses -- here is Cookie giving me a hand with the sheep -- if she doesn't fall off the window ledge first!

Post-weaning, here are the ewe lambs.  The three clustered together are all friendly and come to the bucket and let me handle them at will -- the one in front is Shy Lamb, and just like her mother, Shy Ewe, will having nothing to do with me, and isn't even interested in treats!

Here are the ewes -- I tried to get a photo of them all together close up but Greedy kept getting in my face, so I kept walking further away -- and she kept following me!  True to her name, she always wants something, even if my hands are empty!

Our latest new (to us) cockerel -- he's only just figuring out his crowing now, but that's not stopping him from being very busy with the ladies!

These are the last lot of chicks out of the big black cockerel (now in our tummies) -- they were born on 30th July.  There were originally four but one didn't make it past day 2.

There is another hen who we thought went missing the other week -- and then Danny found her sitting in a hedge on eggs -- we don't know how many -- so watch this space -- we may have a load more chicks in about 10 days or so!

And last but not least, this lovely little man -- my first lamb at Sparrowhall -- is now for sale if anybody's interested.  He is quite friendly and will come to the bucket even if nothing's in it.  Lovely solid black Shetland tup.
