The gang's all here

All four of our neighbouring Jacobs ewes have now had their lambs and it's clear why the one we called Chocolate looked so large when she was expecting - she's had triplets!



However one is very tiny and a bit wobbly...





so we're hoping that it is able to thrive despite having to compete for milk with two bigger siblings.



But it does at least seem to be getting the hang of gambolling!



The twin lambs that arrived first are growing fast....



...and the two single ones seem very content too.





Now we just need to decide what to call them all - a good thing about Jacobs sheep is that it's easy to tell them apart!
