It Shouldn't Be

The lambs are between two and four months old.... And most of them already are bigger than wee little (3 year-old) Henrietta.  She is shocked.

Henrietta: Smaller than Peanut

It's no surprise to Macadamia, who must lie on her belly to nurse.

"None of the other kids have to lie down!"

We did know that the lambs would most likely outgrow Henrietta; we just didn't know that it would happen so soon.  We really didn't expect any of our ewe lambs to have horns.

It is difficult to get a picture of the top of a sheep's head.

Pistachio has tiny horns growing on her head. (It's common for Shetland rams to have horns, but it's rarer for the ewes to have horns.  She might be taking after her Icelandic side.)  We're not sure if her wee little horns will grow more or not.  Of course, a certain someone had to go around feeling heads after this discovery.  (Catch-able heads, that is.)

There's something that shouldn't be happening in this picture.  Can you find it?  Hint: It's not a sheep gone bad.
