The amount of differing advice you get is ridiculous and totally contradictory but somebody must be right! All I can do is trial and error.
Hiya Luce,
Unfortunately there is never really a 'right' answer - if only there was
but everybodies set up varies slightly as do the individual pigs involved.
I feed 1lb of pig nuts per pig, per day. Mine have large paddocks and a fairly good supply of fruit and veg (maybe 2lbs each per day ish) They are a good weight, neither too fat or too skinny - you definitely don't want them getting too heavy, that's where the problems start.
I think the move of surroundings has unsettled them and they'll be a bit on edge, but the chicken food might well have something to do with it - best keep it away from them.
Give it another few days and see how they go, I know folks who keep Kunekune with goats without problems (always seperated at feeding time
) but let them get used to you first before trying any new introductions.
Give your gilt's tail a squirt of purple spray or get some wound powder on it, again, just to be on the safe side.
HTH
