Congrats! What time were they born?

Between 6.15 and 8pm. She had two almost one after the other, then a break of about 15 minutes, then 3 literally all at once, another about another 15 minutes later, then there was nearly an hour before number 7, she was starting to look upset so I intervened, it was stuck pretty tight, number 8 can straight after and took a bit of work to get it breathing, but once it started, it was fine. I then sat there freezing for another 2 hours until she delivered the placenta, as I had no way of knowing she was finished!

Well done. I remember helping one of my pigs give birth and I had to put them up to the udder, they latched on straight away. She gave 11. I hope all goes well and she rears them all.
