Chickma Farms

Chickma Farms is a miniature donkey breeder in Auburn, CA, Placer County and the Sierra Nevada foothills near Sacramento. Melissa Clark has been raising miniature donkey foals for several years, supporting registry standards and arranging annual health screenings. The donkeys roam protected paddocks with daily turnout, and early handling helps shape a gentle, curious nature. Reviews mention the calm, friendly disposition of the foals, reflecting a focus on temperament and social readiness.

Clark is an active member of the American Donkey and Mule Society, adhering to standardized breeding guidelines and maintaining detailed health records for each animal. All jacks and mares undergo routine veterinary checks, including orthopedic and dental exams, to support long-term wellbeing.

The farm’s peaceful pastureland provides a low-stress environment, and foals learn basic ground manners from an early age. This thoughtful approach has earned respect across local equine networks and underscores a genuine dedication to donkey welfare.
