.... and the vet telling you she could foal in 5 days or 5 weeks. Boy, that is cutting it close. Maybe he's really a weatherman. I was born crabby (under the sign of the Crab) but, each decade I seem to achieve new heights - you know how it goes, do what you do well - that's me.

Well, the problem with not having an exact foaling date is that we have no idea when the mare was bred because she came to us from a feedlot. The signs that the mare is showing are 5 days to 5 weeks. I've seen a mare bag up in the evening, and the baby was there the next morning. And I've seen mares that bag up slowly and take the 5 weeks before the foal is born. I suppose it depends on the individual.
So I don't really blame the vet for giving us such a wide window because there's no way of knowing with this particular case.

Please share how you did these shots? I'm guessing a white backdrop with some type of light source?

I have a light box I built you can find some cheap plans online and used LED lightbulbs for the lighting to get a white light. Did have to do some post editing to get the lighting whiter as well

Saturday I got my first peafowl egg! Today she should lay another egg hopefully. I did some crafts with my spare peacock feathers I have.
