We’ve had seven litters of pigs since 24 December and two more are imminent. Young pigs grow fast – here are some pics from 31 Jan. These pigs are between 2 and 5 weeks old.
Chester White coloration from mama and upright ears from her Berkshire daddy.
These pigs and their mama are looking for wheat berries in the new straw.
Above is a warming hut where the pigs can escape mama for a while. A heat lamp combined with plenty of dry straw and a litter of pigs makes for a cozy spot. The heat lamp reflector is mounted into a steel garbage can lid which is attached to the wooden house. So far we’ve managed to not burn down the barn.
Second breakfast! Just like hobbits.
Remember Wilbur? This runty pig probably won't get a name or a friend like Charlotte.
