I have a couple of ewes and lambs and one bottle fed lamb next to the house at the mo, to keep the bottle fed lamb company until they can all go out with the others. One of the ewes has the most annoying loud incessant baa like a foghorn! ::)
This morning I was in bed and heard a lamb baaing, it kept on and on so I wondered if it was stuck somewhere. On looking out the window I saw it was the ewe making the noise! It sounded just like a lamb?? Can they get tonsilitis or anything? It is most bizarre :P

no idea of answer, but your post made me laugh!! We've got one with a comedy high pitched ba, which makes us burst out laughing whenever we hear it (not sure I'd be laughing in teh middle of the night though!!!)

They can shout themselves hoarse (which is nice ;D ) We've got one, Daisy who always used to have an amusing agagagag (think machine gun) baa. She's now AAAAAAAAA and it's really like,
"SHUT UP DAISY!". Berry and Bliss lost their voices last year so I guess they can go squeeky too.

Hopefully that's what it is, she has laryngitis lol - she baas almost non-stop about nothing!

This isn't Bugsy's (aka friendly fat lamb's) mother is it Remy? He never shuts up and sometimes baas himself hoarse especially when he knows we are in the stable barn and not paying him the attention. He stops if we talk to him though :sheep: ::) . If my daughter and I try to have a conversation when he is about he constantly interrupts :roflanim: .

No it's not LL! You don't fancy another pet do you - I have a gorgeous reeeeeally friendly Gotland castrated lamb ... he just loves scratches ;) ;D

Stop it Remy! ;) ;D

One of our ewes has developed a growl since lambing....
