Congratulations from me too ! Get yourself a comfy watching spot

Now that my piglets are 4 weeks old my fav place is actually sitting on the straw beside them (but not for much longer cos they're getting boisterous lol!)
It's funny how we all panic about upcoming births, but the pigs just get on with it

Like HM, I think if you worm her in a few weeks the piglets will get some immunity - or worm them at weaning time.
Congratulations again !

congratulations. please make sure the babies have access to a bit of grass/earth or give them iron drops or you may well loose them. lots of cuddles if mum will let you.

Hi,
Thanks for all the advice. I am trying to post some pics but am not having any luck so far. will figure it out tomorrow !!
Its wonderful having piglets, just want to sit there all day.. work just gets in the way. They are a right mixture, some just pink, some look a bit like saddlebacks, and some have Pietrain markings like mum.

They are in a field with plenty of dirt, and a bit of grass, so should be ok.
