The pix was taken late afternoon yesterday as the storm was kinda rolling in ... it looks like a lot of chickens but when they see me they all run toward me ... no worry NOT out of love for their farmer but for that bucket of grains I was carrying ... !!!
Our piglets are now 1 week old and doing well.
On day 2, we were able to move the second Mom back into a secured area. It was epic and took several hours for a few hundred yards. We would give Mom a little bit of food, move the babies a few feet but as soon as we would grab a baby, the little punk would scream like you wonder how such a little thing can make such a noise !!!
Mom reacting immediately, us looking innocent !!! Once she calmed down starting all over again ... It was not a fast move but even protective the mom was never aggressive ...
The big Mama was too far away to be moved but on Friday I came with a grand idea to move them and it did not work at all, the difference was this Mom was super aggressive when protecting the babies so everybody is still out there.
Both group have access to a pond and the babies already go roll in the mud ...
Here a few pictures, they are so much bigger and at least double in weight.
The second group, 6 days old ...
The first group, 6 days old ...
Mama having diner ...
We got 14 piglets in 24h!!!
