Calico Does It Again

Like last year, Calico had twins!

"Indeed, I am awesome," Calico

Calico began labor around 8 AM.  It was a long, long wait...

Feldspar & Olivine aren't terribly interested in what Calico is doing.

 ...but finally, Calico delivered her lambs.  The firstborn is Chert, a solid brown ram lamb.  He could lighten up and look like big sister Cashew, or he might stay dark brown.

"I will wait patiently while sister gets licked," Chert

Shortly later, Calico gave birth to Opal, a ewe lamb.  Opal is katmoget (the same pattern as Calico and Acorn) with some extra spots.  I'm thrilled.

Will she be as naughty as her big sisters?

Two more ewes to go!
