[Jacob-list] "Bummer" lamb

[Victor Zdeb]

Hello,
One of my ewes had a ram lamb and did not "claim" it, so we are feeding it 
by hand.  We have eight ewes, three have lambed and the other five are on 
their way, two are taking care of their little ones and a "new" (first 
time) ewe walked away from her lamb and will not accept him.  So far things 
seem OK but I remember an email post dealing with the healthy progression 
of hand fed lamb droppings but neglected to save it.  He is two days old 
now and has runny light brown stool. Is this normal or am I running into 
trouble and do not know it.  Any and all advice would be appreciated.
