After checking on Che Che all night she finally gave birth between 6 and 6:30 this morning. The kid is gorgeous and she is the only one. We helped getting the baby dried off and warm. It was really cold this morning and baby was shivering. We saw her taking her first steps and her first sips of Colostrum. She started calling immediately and with out a concern in the world she has approached us and let us pet her.
Baby looks like a miniature donkey to us and sounds like one too. Hence we are naming her Donkey. We brought Asa and the kids from the basement into the pen with Che Che and Donkey and they are finally ONE cute herd. The sun is out now and Asa's kids (we still haven't named) are running sideways and exploring the pen.
Her placenta/afterbirth came out of her within two hours of giving birth. Che Che was not interested in eating it. We waited to see if anyone else was showing up. It looks like Donkey is going to be a spoiled little baby.
