It's a foal.
Here's a list of donkey/mule/horse terminology.
There will be a test tomorrow :-)
----
Jack -- an uncastrated male donkey (also known as a stallion)
Jennet -- a female donkey (pronounced as "jenny")
Gelding -- a castrated male donkey or horse
Mule -- a hybrid cross between a donkey jack and a horse mare.
Foal -- a baby donkey or horse. Either male or female gender.
Sire -- the father of a baby horse, donkey or mule.
Dam -- the mother of a baby horse, donkey or mule.
----
I think I just learned where the word "Jackass" came from!
P.S. And if someone ever calls you a "Dam jackass", then you tell them that is impossible because that a castrated male donkey could never be a mother! :-) you tell them you learned that on Yahoo answers and set them straight!

Bryon has really answered it well. Just to sum it up the young one of a donkey is either called a Colt or a Foal.

A baby donkey is called a "foal".
"Typically a baby donkey is called a foal, for both male and female. A foal is usually under 1 year old. Young male donkeys can either be referred to as a 'baby jack' or a male foal. A young female donkey can be referred to as a 'baby jenny (or jennet)' or a female foal."

Get: The offspring of a Jack or Stallion. The male is said to "get" the offspring on the female, this the collective term get for his young.
Produce: The offspring of a Jennet or Mare. The females produce the young. The term "out of" is literal in the sense that the foal was born out of that female.

Just like a horse, the baby is a foal.
They also sometimes call young male donkey's a "baby jack" (male) or "baby jenny" (female).

I believe the correct response is "BURRITO", which is the Spanish translation for little donkey.
