I presume she was away at the boars for about a month given movement restrictions so for me its a no brainer three weeks over ie one cycle of a season my guess is the boar got her second time round but theowner only saw the first quite often happens she sounds bang on schedule to me so should givebirth any time soon given she is nesting and has milk
The most we had was ten days over and whole litter wasborn dead but given your info its like i said boar caught her second time around

Mandy thats really useful to know as a newbie thank you :) I'm storing up a knowledge bank and its good to know if they go over by a long time you've probably missed a second mating on the next cycle

I've been thinking about you too

Very sorry about the lack of updates, I was getting very stressed discussing it all, I know the whole situation is weird, but I KNOW Delilah was only with the boar for 3 days, I definitely haven't imagined it, so these piglets are seriously overdue.

Anyhow, the good news is, there is action!

We have 8 lovely piglets, and she is either done, or having a lull before round 2, and I have come in for a new torch battery and to defrost a bit.

Thank you for all your kind thoughts, will let you know how many we end up with, hopefully with photos, tomorrow.

No, they look normal, in fact i think they are quite little.  I know they always look tiy to start with, but I am sure they are smaller than the last litter of 11.  I think No. 5 is really only 4 1/2!
