Last night was awful here, the winds were horrendous and as well as one of the chicken sheds having blown over in the night, more importantly, the mains electric fencing unit keeping Prudence the pig in where she should be, had stopped working. The plug was warm to touch but the there wasn't a flashing light on the unit. More to the point, Pru was climbing all over the fence.
I fed her some food and while she was scoffing it, I connected the pig enclosure up to the main unit that we use for the horses. She got a couple of belts off it and now she knows that she missed her chance to get out.
I'll have to get someone to have a look at the defunct unit.
Later on in the morning I watched her inspecting the newly hooked up fence and watched her. She came up to the fence and got a right belt but instead of jumping backwards, she squealed and jumped forwards, clearing the fence. She soon went back into the enclosure for some food and I've since put an extra strand up. She's still in there at the moment.
On the down side, one of my Light Sussex is injured after her chicken shed blew over.
