I went for Wyandotte. Roughly three weeks time I should have chicks.

Good morning.

Guinness. 😍

Cutie lambed late last night. This lamb was born at midnight. Look at the size of it. It looks three weeks old! Far too big. Don’t like huge lambs. But all fine. She was huge and I expected lots of lambs but got two very big ones.

This chap on the other hand is going in for happiest lamb award.

Every year this ewe has a lamb that has the saddest face and ears. They’re absolutely fine, they just look like they were born to be in an RSPCA advert.

Guinny now firmly part of the collie gang. Was caught playing tag with Floss today then getting kisses in the hay shed.

Good morning from Mac.

It’s the full massage service for Annie today. 😁

Since Beth Riley got me thinking about incubating eggs the other day, I’ve had two lots in my eBay basket but can’t choose…

Black Copper Marans or Gold/Silver Laced Wyandottes?

Obviously the burger was a big highlight for the dogs. 🍔

Nice day out at the Tynedale P2P with Phil and the dogs.

1.19am. Dee just lambed a lovely set of leggy black twins. Have brought them in for the night out of the cold temps. Another ewe looks likely to lamb by morning. I’ll be back out at 6am. Time for some sleep. X

Duck egg mayo sandwiches for Phil this week!

Someone I know looking for a trained sheep dog, ready to work 400 sheep.
Sure I saw one here the other day. Good working home. Based Durham.

It’s raining again.

Lunchtime.

Peg Leg is officially walking properly and outside.
He’s still a bit special and very small (measured exactly the same as the Shetlands born yesterday, & he’s two weeks old) but he’s cracking on. Shout out to Nettex orange marker which shows up from the moon even on black sheep.
