Poor little silkie chick I thought, it must have been trod on or got at by something else, but my girls wouldn't do it on purpose.  Then last night hubby saw them actively chasing down the silkies that usually go in to eat with them!  Is this normal? Are they hungry? They certainly looked as if they were enjoying the chase

pigs will eat anything even you if you were to stumble in there pen  you would be there next meal
 
pigs are the recyclers and converters  of the farm    it is just getting it over to all the new pigkeepers  what they are capable off
 
well fed pigs will sleep all day converting there food to meat or fat depends on the breed

Awwww, they love me they wouldnt eat meeeeee  ; on a serious note I just wanted reassurance that they werent hunting because they were underfed - so do you think they need a bit more food?  They have loads of grass to turn over and root through and are fed twice a day and sometimes scraps (windfalls etc) too.

In my area the older folk always said that pigs would eat small children and to be careful to keep them out of the pig pens.  Don't know why they said that  -  but they did.

Pigs love variety, I had some pigs on ad lib feed eat the occasional free range chickens, and outdoor sows taking pheasants that fell in their paddocks during a shoot, after their morning feed.

My half grown bantam chicks have always squeezed through the wire and got in with the Kune Kunes after their food.  I was a bit worried at first, they may be trodden on, or worst still, eaten ....but the pigs seem used to them.  Worry is now the hens will drown in the thick mud with all this rain, when they venture in the pigs pen!!
