sound like you have got your hands full there debs aww bless. is this common with sheep then?i saw two in the paper the other day by us free to good home they were hand reared we were so tempted but at the moment the ground we have has no fence anyway so we wouldnt be able to do anything with them as we would have no where to put them.good luck with them anyway hope they all do well Smile
