All are well, but I have a question about poo too. This little lamb has been in the house all day and she hasn't pooped yet. how often should she be going?

Sometimes with an orphan you have to give an enema to help them clear out the meconium. It is the sticky first stool made up of a substance that lines the intestines before the animal is born. Colostrum helps this stool pass more easily, but a Fleet enema (for people) will help as well.

We had to do this for an orphaned foal we raised.
