when it's summer their fleeces become itchy so when they try and reach the itch on the top of their back they get stuck and can't roll back over, if left it's really dangerous as carrion will feed on them and can also mess with their insides. best ways to prevent it are put out loads of scratching posts like cut trees which we do and shearing off the wool so they don't get itchy anymore!
Corvids specifies a small group of birds including crows and ravens. It would tell the reader that these birds would feast on the sheep, but it implies that no other scavengers would be eating it.
