Twins!

Didn't I tell you Snilld looked like givin birth, soon? Well, she did today. I got a SMS in the early evening, that there were 2 little rams.
As Snilld had been with a grey solid ram and she herself is grey spotted, the lambs could just be grey or grey spotted. So my reply was: "2 grey rams?"
How surprised was I when I got this answer: "1 grey, 1 white". That was definitely genetically not possible, no way! There must be at least a tiny little coloured spot on the white one, best go and check out.
On my way to Hólmavað I met Bensi and Hrund, who were delievering hay to Bjarni and stopped to ask more precisely about the white ram. First I got the explanation, that all of Snilld's family was white (which is not, she's from 2 grey parents)  and she's probably not grey spotted at all, but then Bensi remembered having seen a tiny spot on the left eye of the ram, looking like some mascara. Well, there was the spot!
Snilld was already waiting for me to come and give her some treats, which I did. Went inside her box and had a look at her babies, which were quite nosy and having a look at me. The proud mum got some good scratches and was happy to get soooo much attention.
As it was Eurovision Semifinale tonight, the rams were named after my favourite Icelandic act, which was Silvia Night in 2006. She was accompanied by 2 guys nicknamed Hommi and Nammi. Nammi is the name of the grey ram, Hommi the white with mascara.
Looking forward to having a look at them in a few days again, when they have stretched their legs a bit more.

 

 

 

There you are finally! Where are my treats?
