I wonder if this mix is what some on Craigslist are calling Mammoth Donkey's or Mule's when I see them listed.

Might be. A mule is the offspring of a male donkey (a jack) and a female horse (a mare). I guess that mare could be a Clydesdale. Mammoth jacks are a large donkey breed developed by George Washington. Really large. I have experience with those, they're very gentle and excellent workers. I've never seen a mammoth jack/Clydesdale cross, that would be something!

Where I'm at everyone was doing mini horse, mini donkey crosses. Now two of the people breeding them have passed away and one moved to New York. Mini mules are adorable though.

Yesterday I mixed up some wet feed with the vitamins and electrolytes in it. Today I made some wet feed for them with 6 scrambled egg's mixed up with plain water for them. I'm getting too many egg's again since I'm not currently hatching. Got to pay the parent's back for all of those chick's I hatched, right?

When I went out to check for egg's today, my younger Bielefelder rooster was sitting on 2 of the hen's egg's like a broody hen does. He did move though to let me take the egg's. Silly boy. I still need to figure out what I should name him.
