more orphan lambs

we now have 6 baby orphan lambs, there mums have died and a local farmer knew that we would look after them, so he dropped them in by, their names are jeffery, chandler, joey, ross, anna and polly, all lambs are doing really well.We have got more ducklings hatching in the incubators, and the newly hatched ones are growing like mad. Black Jack the new baby foal is now 2 weeks old and is a little monkey, he gives his mum quite a hard time and she spends most of her day following him around the field to see what he is up to.The sheep are all now home and are due to have theri babies anytime after the 15th may, so that will keep me busy.The grass is really growing in the fields now so we have to ewatch that the ponies dont eat too much as it can make them quite ill.We now have our tatties planted, onions in and over the next couple of weeks the carrots and neips will be going in.So busy days at the moment.
