We're two thirds of the way through lambing. I have five ewes left to lamb - two with singles, two with twins and one with triplets. The one with triplets isn't due until the 2nd May; two of the others are due 19th and the other two 25th (or thereabouts). Since I have no tup currently, the wether is in too and I was planning to keep him in to keep the triplet ewe company once the others have gone out.
Because of space constraints, the ewes expecting twins and singles (and the wether) are housed together. The three triplets were housed in a temporary pen adjoining the main area. Two trips have now lambed and gone out so Pixie is on her own.
Would it be better, or even OK, to put Pixie in with the others? She can see them and touch noses so she's not distressed but if I put her in there, I could get her pen cleaned out. But she's getting a bit more food that the others - if I mix them, that'll drop a bit. They have access to a Harbro Energyze Vitality pre/post lambing bucket as well plus adlib hay.
I don't want to compromise Pixie's health for the sake of convenience, but would welcome views.
