After a few days to 1 week mom and babies are cut out into another area where only ewes with lambs are. This helps prevent lamb injury by preventing lambs sucking on ewes that haven't lambed yet. Once all have lambed they are put back to their normal area. The ewes with lamb area has a special area called a "creep" area where only the lambs can fit through. A lamb starter pellet is kept in this area at all times. We also noticed that the lambs enjoy taking a nap in there. Most likely it is their way of avoiding the chaos that happens at chore time! The ewes seem to get very exicted at feeding time and this way they can get away and not get stepped on.
