Hi all - I really need to free up one of my pig pens and wonder what disasters I may be in for if I put the 2 recently farrowed sows
in together
They both have just one piglet on them now and which I need to wean off (hence the need for a spare pen) so that they can be fed for fattening; leaving these 2 ladies to dry off. Obviously one is going to have to share her pen with a 'stranger', although they used to be in adjoining pens and since farrowing have been about 15 feet apart. What do you reckon? Will the 'owner'
allow the 2nd sow
into her ark etc??
Never done this before, so I don't want to risk any damage to either of them
Any help, advise, guidance, suggestions etc very much appreciated. PLUS it would also help us out hugely when we come to transport them all to our new home
Thanks all.
