Twisted lambs

    Neighbor has mainly Suffolk ewes & crossed to a Suffolk ram till this year, he changed to a Belcare to improve numbers (mostly singles previous), now he's getting doubles but has had to intervene with lambs being twisted, both coming together, legs down.
    Ewes got no handling & weren't on their backs, is there anything that could be the issue?

    In a shed? When were they put in?
    If they were outside I'd suspect a run of a dog. Inside I'd be looking at feed space

    Too well fed would be my guess, are lambs generally big?

    They're outside, dog doesn't bother with them & never really has.
    Not getting any meal, but lots of grass.
    Lambs are an average size, mine would be bigger of the Suffolk.
    I was wondering if lacking minerals?
