so far so ... triplets!!!


By Jove, he did it!! Soooo did it - I mean the little ram we couldn't picture doing it without ladder... anyway, Moxie 3 silly racka 0 as it stands. Born on the day before yesterday, so they'll be too young to be fondled by the eggsearching toddlers tomorrow. But they can look... 3 is unusual, as ewes' have two teets only; Lujo said that an exceptionally good mother can bring them up, but usually after about a week two lambs decide to attack the third one together, so we have to watch, and that point the unlucky third will go for handrearing by Erzsi. But so far all three seem to be thriving. Our other resident expert (Alan) thinks the racka will also have young one in a few weeks - will see. No photos yet for purely skeptical superstitious reasons - but I promise, they are cute. Though the white one (last born) seem to be hairless. The others medium and dark brown with lovely faces.
