Foal tonight maybe on Foal Cam

[CityGirlintheCountry]

Poor baby! She just acts miserable!

Aww poor girl! She just laid down on her side. She is looking like she is going to pop soon! This is exciting!

 

[lockedhearts]

It's all in what the mares are used to, my brodmares are used to the lights on and me in and out of the stall when they are close and in labor.

Gosh. I'm getting anxious! lol. Hurry up horsie! It's still not as bad as waiting for my own goats.

And I second the fact they wait until you leave. my doe was showing no signs, I stay with her for hours. She never stretched, had a contraction, no goo. I go in and eat for about 20 minutes. Come back out to find two babies, about 1 minute old.

Mannn look at that belly. She's really having to rock to get back up! LOL I can't imagine babysitting this, it's so cold I've seen her breath a couple of times. I'd be literally on pins and needles.

It wasn't bad with my goats. They just did their thing until we heard them bawling their heads off while the first baby popped out. They called us just in time for us to catch the main act... no extra waiting time.

I hadn't seen a birth before my first goat was in labour. I thought i'd just run inside and eat a snack while waiting .. that was a mistake

 

[KinderKorner]

Yeah Goatie was a screamer! lol. She waited for me.

Lucie on the other hand, didn't make a peep. And popped those babies out in 20 minutes. At least she had a short labor. Goatie was having small contractions for 8 hours.

Wonder if she tends to foal standing up or laying down?

So how long all together has she been in labor?
