April / Delilah / Vernica's Foaling thread Cam Up

[AnnaC]

Glad it wasn't just me Renee (coz I haven't even opened that bottle yet!!)

Whoops, I got a bit muddled there Hazel - put it down to my tired old brain, but when I read what you had written I did a double take!! "" she's due May**, I hand bred April to get a certain date"" or words to that effect. I seriously had to consider whether April or May came first on the calendar!! And you lot wonder why some of my posta are often a bit strange LOL!!

You aren't the only who had to read that one twice.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Maybe I should call her Wind? Would that help

. Renee, I used 340 days from the first breeding date. Now you know how my life is confusing. And gues what here is the newest pic of Vernica. A maiden, who I didn't know was preggers.

:rofl

Suprise. Udder pic taken today.

From what I was told earliest possible would be June? HMMM!

 

[AnnaC]

Goodness Hazel it looks as though you are going to be pretty busy over the next 4 weeks or so. Now I hate to disagree with my friend Diane (inspite of the fact that I am being proved wrong and she is probably going to be right about Laney's foaling date!) but I find that maiden mares take longer to START making a bag not necessarily longer to make a full bag. So I would be checking the dates with Vernica as I would guess you could be seeing a baby sooner than you think - a lot sooner!! LOL!!

 

[a mini dream come true]

I went back and reread my e-mail and it said "Vernica ran with Toyland Regalo from June 24 to Spetember 30". So my dates were wrong too.

So going from the first day, 340 days would be May 17

.Diane, Renee pass the bottle please. Think I'm going to need more than coffee to get through this season.

:rofl

 

[a mini dream come true]

Thanks Diane, I needed that

. Delilah hadn't lost any of her udder this morning. She has been outside all day. In and out. I think she is getting plenty of exercise today.

Futere son in law is coming down Friday to build some on to the barn so we can bring Vernica down here. He says he is not foaling out a maiden.

:rofl

. We'll see how that goes. He has foaled out big horses and I think scared of the little ones

:rofl

:rofl

 

[a mini dream come true]

Right now I have Delilah, April and Juan down here. Juan feels left out

because I won't let him out with the girls. He has to wait his turn

. If this keeps going He may go to Mirrie's for a while. Then I'll bring him back later.

hick, according to my foaling calculator 300 days is 19th of April so who knows! hick

 

[a mini dream come true]

Oh my, are we suposse to count to only 300 days?

where's that darn bottle

I'm definately going to need more.May have to run to the store for more and more

:smokesmile:

 

[Eagle]

It is a good idea to keep an eye on them from 300 as minis do often foal early. I was reading only today on MS that a cam owner was surprised that her mares were foaling at 320 days this year as they normally foal between 305- 310.

Plus if she is cooking a filly it will be quicker as she doesn't have to make a willy

night all

hick

 

[a mini dream come true]

Night Renee. Sweet dreams. hick

 

[a mini dream come true]

I'm tellin you

for sure

:cheers . I've already started to revamp the way it was going to be fixed. and trying to figure out how to set it up where we can have all three girls on the same cam. If I can't work it that way, hubby has to spring for a new camera and a switching box or quad box. What ever they are called.

:rofl .Lordy mercy, it's going to be busy the next couple of months.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Delilah laying down at 6 in the afternoon. That's weird. HMMM

 

[cassie]

WOW oh my goodness! I'm gone for the weekend and not only do you all decide to become alcaholics lol but all three of your girls decide they want to race each other goodness me! I better keep better track! I'd get lost under all that LOL

keep us updated Hazel!! how very exciting for you!!!

 

[AnnaC]

Now I'm confused (it doesn't take much as you well know!) there is (IMO) no way that Vernica can go nearly another 2 months before foaling, so late April sounds good to me, which means she will be a bit 'early' according to her dates?? I think we had better have some nice up to date pics of her please Hazel.

But then there is Diane who says her Falabellas foal at 235-255 days?????????????????? That is amazing Diane!!

Yes Hazel, you need to get the girls sorted! Send that boy of yours off and away for a little while and get the girls back under one roof with eveything set up so we can watch with/for you - that future son-in-law sounds like a useful man to have around!

Anyone suffering from a hangover this morning after our boozy weekend? Hair of the dog and all that!

 

[Eagle]

hahah I have a headache

 

[a mini dream come true]

Good morning ladies. Anna, you aren't nearly as confused as I was when I check Vernica this weekend.I am still trying to sort it all out. Cassie, I will keep everybody updated as muchas I can. Hubby is oming in tomorrow ans we start the plans for the barn addition and he has alreaky said we can have them all under cam so it sould happen this week, good lord willing.Now it's time to feed and off to work. Will update this evening.

 

[MeganH]

I think Diane meant to say 335 and 355

Good luck with everything, Hazel. DO keep us updated!

 

[a mini dream come true]

WOW as you could probably tell I was really not with it this morning. A lot of misspelled words. Delilah lodt some of the gain she made last night, so not anytime in the next week, i don't think. Here are comparrison pics of Vernica

3-24-12

and 3-26-12

What do you think? It will be this weekend before I can get full pics of her. The phone pics aren't quite as clear. April hasn't changed any.

 

[a mini dream come true]

That was my thoughts. This morning Delilah had a bigger udder so we'll see about this afternoon.
