Thank you "other renee" there are two of you! luckily you are awake while she is asleep and vice versa! Bless Darla's heart...i have seriously had goat with a nicer udder! The nipples are SO HUGE...i'm scared my lil filly wont be able to get her mouth around them!

 

[jessj]

I like your 3:40 idea! This yesterday and today...i thought she looked like she dropped more today, but it doesnt show in the pics.

I have found that little nipples can be an issue - especially on a REALLY full udder. But big ones are normally a good thing

Im sure your baby will be fine

Well miss darla has sure toned things down tonight!

 

[jessj]

Thanks everyone! I am going to see if I can get he to move a bit more in the center then i am going to bed. Will check in around midnight. PLEASE CALL if you see anything at all suspicious!!!

 

[jessj]

I am late feeding tonight! I put her food pan right under the camera where she was laying...now maybe she will move more toward the center! Off to bed now!

 

[jessj]

aaaa!!!! One of my tiny baby chicks is on the top board of the stall wall...i wonder if i need to go rescue it?? O...nope it got down...just as well momma hen probably would have flogged me! Really off to bed now!

 

[cassie]

[anyssapark]

Darla is a different horse to last night. Maybe the foal was turning and making her uncomfy last night...

 

[anyssapark]

[cassie]

I have to agree with all of you completely different horse tonight

she is down sternal, but looking totally relaxed

 

[anyssapark]
