Title: Poppy popped
Post by: HappyHippy on December 30, 2012, 10:41:47 am

Checked her last night around 6pm, all calm and she was lying sleeping - Bruce went for a quick check at 9pm and she had delivered 11 piglets  :thumbsup: He stayed with her while she went on to deliver another 4  :o
Unfortunately 2 were still born, and despite normally being a super careful mum, having heat lamps and a creep rail, she's squashed 4 during the night  :'(
Hopefully the remaining 9 will all be okay  :fc:
Here's a quick photo, sorry it's not the best quality
