The second of our twins, Hinge, staggers around a bit.
Pep says this is probably due to hypoxia - a lack of oxygen - during the birth process. There are a number of possible causes (see for example http://www.sheepvet.com.au/sheepvet/page3.htm); none of the rest of the flock is affected, and he seems OK, so far; he feeds normally. We're keeping him and his mum in the field while we review his progress.
