Title: Maisie Pig's first litter
Post by: HappyHippy on February 04, 2013, 12:08:19 pm

10 little piglets born last night  :excited: Unfortunately there was a stillborn gilt  :'( but the other 9 are all doing great, there are one or two little ones, but they're bright as buttons. Hope it stays that way  :fc:
It's her first litter and she seems to be taking to motherhood well  :thumbsup:

Hopefully this video will work  :fc:

And maybe this one too ?  :fc: (It's of the first actual birth, so maybe not for the squeemish  ;))
