Chickens, Sheep, and Nice Lambs

, , ,

The dinner chickens arrived on the ninth of June, but I didn’t get a chance to get pictures until today. We lost more than usual in the first few days, but they seem to be okay now.

These chicks peck at their feed inquisitively.

We’ve got sheep on both sides of the center divider fence, plus a dog in each group. Winnie is closest to me, and Kimball is across the fence. Here you can see them with some of the ewes, lambs, and yearlings.

Several black sheep cluster close to their fence, with two white livestock guardian dogs waiting nearby.

This is a particularly nice yearling ewe.

A very nicely put-together yearling Black Welsh Mountain ewe is shown.

These two lambs were born on the tenth of May, and they’re twins sired by Wye Heights Latham and out of Desert Weyr Gwendolyn. I think they’re growing exceptionally well.
