Got a ewe lambed at around 7-7.30, no sign of afterbirth or another lamb. This ewe usually has twins, how long should I leave her before investigating further? Oh it is now 9.20

Well, if she is eating, drinking, not looking at all concerned, the lamb you have is a big one and feeding and all looks hunky dory I would not worry too much. On the other hand if she looks uncomfortable, is distressed, looks a bit preoccupied, the lamb is small and you are not sure.....keep an eye or call someone to check if not confident.
It may be she has just a single this time?

Thanks woollyshepherd just been out to check her and she seems quite happy she has eaten her feed and is looking fine, nice healthy ewe lamb.
Just one of these neurotic owners

I had one ewe with 2 hours between twins, she is lazy though and doesnt really push, I didnt interfere as she seemed content enough, I was just about  to when the 2nd one appeared! another one had hers minutes apart!

... well I had one last year 4 hours apart! Got a friend over for second opinion as she seemed a bit odd and he pulled out the second lamb.  Made me a bit paranoid this year not helped by two mums continuing to nest but only having one lamb.  Spent hours up checking them just in case.
