Guess who showed up today? This little flop-eared gal!
I didn't check on our donkeys this ten degree morning, but late in the afternoon, I thought I'd get out of the house for a little while and take a walk.
From the driveway, I could see a little dark shape by Ollie, the larger momma who had still been expecting.
At first, I thought it was the first donkey born back around Labor Day, then I noticed this one was smaller, and besides, she was beside the wrong momma.
Honey and I took off, excited to get a closer look. Sure enough, we had a newborn! She looks exactly like the first one.
She was walking around like she was a week old, but something is not quite right with those ears!
One of them is flopped over, and she (I think it's another she!) seemed to have a hard time holding them up.
Poor thing. I don't know what time she was born, but I know she hadn't arrived last night. Could it be that her poor ears got frostbitten?
Or maybe she was just crowded in the womb.
She seems okay otherwise. I hope her ears don't fall off!
