Is our rescue donkey pregnant??

[misscole]

We rescued this donkey 13 months ago and recently people have been commenting on her belly asking if she's pregnant. We are new to donkeys so unsure what to look for I've added some pictures would love your opinions.

Her udder tells me she’s had a my least one baby before and chances are she’s pregnant again

Thanks for your reply! Yes she has we have her daughter too she's around 4 years old now

Do you have a Jack? Donkey gestation is 12-14 months. You have had her 13 months so if she was bred before you got her she should be due pretty quick. Does she have an udder starting? If you don't have a jack on the property and she goes past 14 months, then she just has a hay belly.

No we don't have a jack. She would have to have been bred before we got her she has a swollen udder but mainly just on one side?

I'm saying preggers. So, what about dtr-- was she in same herd? If so, she's prop in same mode. The babies are so adorable !!! Can't wait for pictures.

Omg I hadn't even thought about the daughter! She doesn't have a belly or anything I've not even thought about checking her udder

If the daughter is a 4-year-old and was in with the Jack then both could be pregnant.

Can't see any signs in the daughters udder, I gave mamas teat a little squeeze and clear fluid squirted out?

Colostrum is thick and yellowish. Is the udder pliable or lumpy?
