Miss attitude is now on cam. Her bag did shrink from this morning so we will just peek on her now and then but not seriously watch her yet. Well of course unless she does something that makes me think she might foal LOL

Last year Patches signs were smacking her flanks with her head and kicking her belly. I do not remember her circling the stall like some mares do but those that watched last year can remind me if she did.

We have been trying to adjust the cam because she is so much taller then the rest so Im hoping we have it right now

Looks fine, Kay. If she hangs out in the front left corner, will we be able to see her? She looks great--more filled out than last year? Her backbone is more covered? Or am I imagining things? She's the mare you have a hard time keeping weight on despite lots of grain?

One thing both my mares did that was so telling they were about to foal is to have frequent poops. Both had several piles in a very short time, like 1-2 minutes apart. Right afterwards--they started labor.

No patches isnt the one so hard to keep weight on at least not until after she foals. She is MUCH bigger with this foal then last year, but she was bred to a bigger stallion then last year. But still Feature is 40" to her 46 so Im not sure why shes so big this year.

Flirt is struggling some with her weight. Her foal is just really sucking the weight off her. We are feeding her like crazy but I am a little worried as I can barely see the outline of her ribs and I dont like seeing that. we are now feeding Flirt 3-4 times per day. Just think its odd as her weight was fine last year so I suspect maybe shes going to have her first colt. She has had 2 fillies previously :)

Oh also for anyone that doesnt know you can right click on the picture and then go to video settings to adjust the contrast and darkness if you need to

WOOHOO!!
I got her up on cam!

I have the poll going for her on another thread, but I need to adjust my time. Didn't see this thread and the info you put out, so time will need adjusting,,,,,maybe.

Kay, for some reason, I lost track of the date. lol
Nope, not adjusting the date/time.....leaving it.
I won't win, but that's ok.
Now I have to go root around my room for some fat quarters. :)
