Bigger

I mentioned in an earlier post that we built a temporary pen in the wood shed/chicken coop for sick animals, new animals, and at the time of my posting, Durango the ram moved into it as we thought we'd hold off on breeding until May.  Well that did not last long as Durango promptly leaped over the gate and sauntered on back to the barn, so we moved the Pygmies into it instead and the three of them seemed perfectly happy.  Then yesterday we bought four non-shedding ewes and six of their lambs so the Pygmies got the boot back into the barn and my new-to-the-farm livestock pen tripled in size.

These mammas are way bigger than any of my sheep.

Their quarantine pen had to be big enough to keep them comfortable and well vented until they are able to join the flock.
