Well, our Joyce caught us out good & proper today - moved to the "maternity wing" last Sunday ready for next Sunday-Wednesday farrowing ...
We came home this afternoon to find she didn't quite understand the calender    5 wee piglets (sadly 1 hadn't survived the birth & had been shuffled to the corner of the pen) - the other 4 are gorgeous 
Out first litter of Tunkey Sire & Tunkey Dam  (it took us 10 litters for me to find the "perfect" boar piglet to run on).  Joyce's sire is SoS, the wee boar that Karen bred, so that makes her a "Great-Great-Gran" & me a "Great-Gran" now 
Hopefully photos to follow (Karen - help!)

Congrats to you and Karen
Can't wait to see photos!
I am loving my piglets from Karen even if they are mad - in the best possible way

Here they are 
Sounds like Joyce is pulling an 'Adelaide' on you - better watch her 

They are gorgeous !!! 
(but there's no way I'm old enough to be a great, great gran  )

    love em.  Hmm how is one tan and the others black and White spotty? ( please excuse my ignorance  ) 

[Beewyched]

Mamz - get it right now - it's "ginger" not tan     It doesn't show up well in the piccys coz of the heat lamp, but 1 is dark brown & cream, 1 is dark brown with a little cream & ginger (tri) & the other is a very light brown & cream (but this may turn-out ginger & cream).
That's part of the uniqueness of the KKs & their litters - what was it Forrest Gump said "... like a box of chocolates, never going to know what you're gonna get ..."
Dam - Mum (Joyce) is ginger with some black markings, as is her mum (Wilma), though Joyce's dad (SoS) is tri (mainly black, with some small white & ginger markings) .  Sire - Dad of this litter (Badger) is dark brown & cream, but his dad (Tommy) is entirely cream & his mum (Louise) is black with a little white.
So it's always a lovely surprise when the litters are born

Aaahhh! Now I see,   . , thank you     Also ( now you mention it) the right baby is ginger! Not White    ( with dark markings ) there was me thinking the posty's boar had called   

Very cute, and more so with their differing markings        A surprise every time

Glad you wee kune kune is doing ok, she has lovely piglets       I am very surprised it took you 10 litters to find the perfect kk boar to join your herd. If other kk breeders did the same as you Lynne and choose there breeding stock more carefully, then there would not be so many kks needing to be rehomed. The size of the  litter you have now, is the size of litters 10 years ago.       Too many breeders register their litters and pap them off to others new breeders who will show them at agricultural shows only to be informed by the judge that they have bought a pig that should have been slaughtered.
