I have a very odd space in my barn that has been the “junk collection corner” for years. I am thinking of bringing home a miniature donkey, and eyeing this spot for a stall for said donkey. It measures 6 foot wide, and we could build the stall 12 foot out. Is this sufficient room for a mini?

we before have taken a 12by12 stall that we made two stalls for the miniature horses, subdivided the standard stall into two 8by6 for the miniatures (both of these miniatures are under 32 inches tall)
everything was attached in a method that allowed easy conversion back into a standard stall
Thank you for the info! Eventually they would get a 12x12 space. We have an elder horse who hasn’t been doing well with the heat this summer, and we are hoping a donkey may be a suitable replacement for the one that will be left behind.
Yes if he can lay down comfortably and get up, turn around OK and has lot’s of turnout he should be ok. I have one of mine in an oddly shaped stall and he does fine.
My 34" mini has a 10’Wx12’D stall & it’s plenty large for him.

My 2 burritos share a 12x12 and it is very spacious for the two of them. If truly a mini I’d think they’d be comfortable in a space that size, and maybe not need to go out the 12 feet. Hope you pull the trigger. My guys make me smile every day. Once you have a bigger stall consider a second, they are typically happier with a donkey friend.

Please don’t get one. Get two. They want to be with each other.
