Sweet Pea is almost ready! She is our smallest jennet, 29 1/2" tall, and she has all the signs of foaling within the next day or two. We have learned to watch the jennets for the obvious signs, full milk sacs and withdrawing from the others. But, Sweet Pea is one of our biggest eaters, devouring every bit of food she can find. Today, she actually left some food and walked away. We are now on real alert and will be checking her often. She has foaled before without any problems, so we are not anticipating any this time, yet, we always feel relieved once the foal is on the ground and Mom and baby are doing well.
