That is so wonderful, not sure where you live until I check but I know there are a lot of sea side rescue donkeys around, so nice to see a new birth!!
-
What lovely pics. I have never seen a donkey being born (pretty much like a sheep ;D )
I love the photo of their two heads side-by-side, getting to know eachother. And the one still in the bag, nearly there. My camera would have been shaking with the excitement :D
Can we have more pics when he's skipping around please?
-
Gorgeous We also have a baby who was born 13th May
they are so much fun and total time wasters lol
-
Did you have to cut the cord on your donkey foal Sokel? This is the 3rd time I have had to step in and do the deed, donkeys seem to have incredibly thick ones.
They are pretty much like a sheep, with longer legs and nose so the head does come out a bit easier but if you get a leg back it could be tricky.
-
No the cord actualy snapped but I had to tie it off and cut it shorter as it was so long it nearly trailed on the floor ::)
this is the first foal for us and she wasnt planned
-
He is all fluffed up today. Thought I had better get my cudddle before he grows too big.We always do this with donkey foals as they seem to trust you afterwards.
-
Awwww :love: :love: :love:
What a lovely little thing.... and the foal is gorgeous ;D ;D ;D
-
Awww, so cute !
And interesting about the cuddle too, we notice a similar thing with some of the piglets who seem to get more cuddles than others :innocent:
He's lovely :love: :love: :love:

It never ceases to amaze me how they are born with heads that big and the legs that long, where did they hide in mum?
Lovely pics Lynda :thumbsup:
-
Oh what a sweetie! lucky you :love:

He is beautiful and I love his name. Yesterday I went out with Emma-Louise. She was riding Teka but I had Rory in his driving harness and long reins. We went up past my friend Paula who has 3 donkeys. The stallion came hee- hawing up the field. Neither Rory or Teka had seen or heard a donkey up close so we had fun and games getting past him. I often hear him in the distance but up close he sounds very loud in your ears. ;D
-
He's gorgeous :)
-
Aw those are lovely pictures Thanks for sharing. Funny I woke up on Saturday thinking 'I want a couple of Donkeys' but I have no idea why. OH not keen - help me here can they be a 'useful' addition to a smallholding?
-
I think he looks lovely. What great pictures. :love:
-
There is a lot said about llamas and alpacas guarding sheep FiB, well donkeys would see a fox or a stray dog off! Any good! But really they are an anti depressant, cheer me up all the time. I am glad you are enjpying the photos. Hopefully he can have a couple of hours at grass tomorrow for another photo shoot.

Aw absolutely beautiful, it's a long tme since i have seen a baby

Sold! :thumbsup: Thanks. And interesting thought re anti depressant - I am looking at opening our 'doors' as part of the care farm scheeme - so that fits too. Off to research what they like and need and nearby Donkey rescue centres.......

awww :love: :love: :love:

We are not far away from the Sidmouth donkey sanctuary and this is mine and my younger grandchildren's favourite place. (and it's free to go in ;) :thumbsup: )
