My hubby (Andy) works for Chichester College, every year they set up a lambcam to watch the yews who are due to give birth in the next couple of weeks, starting about the 10th/12th March, keep your eyes peeled and let us all know if you happen to see a ewe starting to lamb.

This lambing is taking place at Pulborough College which its the off shoot from Chichester and where Andy works.

Enjoy!! it's something a lot of people hardly ever see these days.

Hi Jax, We have got the addy earlier this year, they were late setting up the cameras last year and missed out on a lot of births.
As the ewes start to birth the camera will be moved in closer on one pen.

Fingers crossed for this year, lets hope we see some births.

I love all this farming stuff, I used to live on a pig farm with ex husband and inlaws, I absolutely loved it all.
Shows I must come from farming stock lol.

Oh that's great. We were lucky enough to see a birth last year at a farm we went to. It was so quick most people missed it. Luckily I spent all my school holidays on my Uncle's farm so saw the signs and managed to tell the rest of the family.

I will email the website to my daughter so the grandchildren

Thanks a lot

Jeanette, the ewe will usually move away from the others and find a quiet place to lie, not sure if you will see other signs on cam
