I think they would be great, but I would worry about donkey stepping on them...what do you think?

The last photo is Lilly who is six months old.... the 2nd to last, the chamois and white is nine months old....
If you get one from a good breeder, at a young age , they will follow you and Donkey and be your best buddy. Good luck in your decision making, but i rooting for your daughter, lol

:frow Welcome to Backyard Herds! What a precious little mini-donkey you have!

We have goats, chickens and ducks. We used to have a cranky turkey hen, but she recently passed away. I don’t have any experience with donkeys.

Where abouts do you live in East Texas? There are several of us in the general vacinity. We occasionally get together for a meal and fun conversation. DH and I are retired (well, actually that’s a misnomer :D). It’s almost impossible to live on a farm and not work. :lol:
Anyway, we live not too far from Pickton, if you know where that is.

I don’t know anyone with donkeys, however we occasionally see donkeys grazing in fields, as we drive around. None of them are mini’s though.

Two goats would be best (doe's ) if he is not intact, or you could get wethers (less expensive than doe's ) the kids learn fast, move quick ...and will adjust to Donkeys "graceful " walking .
