Lamb update

Skye and Saoirse! 

Skye is nursing but I'm not sure how much milk she is getting. I just tried bottle feeding her! I'm hoping she got an ounce. She is still so skinny but she's up on her feet, trying to nurse and is making some urine--so those are all good signs!
I tried to see if I could milk Una, to check if she is producing milk but there were two problems: one, I don't know how to milk a sheep and two, Una didn't appreciate being my Guinea pig.  

Little boy lamb is one week old today and looking very strong! He was even out of the nursery a bit today, when the sun was out!

All lambs are now tucked into the barn for nighttime. Farmer J will try another bottle feeding for Skye around 10. Then we will weigh her to make sure she isn't losing any weight...and hopefully gaining some ounces
