The chickens have become used to running all over the yard and pasture and down to the spring so I didn't know where to begin to look for her. We looked in all usual places.
On a happier note, I have been looking at the sheep more and more since they are getting closer to lambing and I think I saw Mira's lamb kick. It happened a couple of times. Funny twitches. Their udders are getting bigger by the day. It is hard to believe the little ones are going to be moms I still think of them as babies even though they are 2 years old. Mira and Sarah are 3 and Hildegard is 4.
Sarah is due this Saturday or thereabouts. Most things are ready but I am nervous and anxious to get a few lambs born. I have almost done all that I can do. Now, I just pray that the girls have easy deliveries or God reminds me what to do.
I hope White 1 shows up tomorrow but we may never know where she went. It is easier to keep track of the sheep, or at least with 6, 16 or so might be a different story.
I'm sorry you lost white 1. It's troubling when you don't know how she went missing, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThis Saturday already? Gosh, I can't believe it's time. That's so exciting you saw a baby moving. I love when that happens.
If you look at the Providence Farm link on my blog you will see pictures of her new lambs.
