PIGLETS!!!

Yup this morning at 5:40 I couldn't sleep so I stuck my head out the window and saw Momma pig with several little piglets wiggling around here!! She had 6!!! Great PIG!!! Needless to say Papa and I got up and went out to check it out!! Here she is nursing them. She did not have them in our little pig huts we made but in the communal pig bed. I guess she kicked the other 2 out as they were sleeping under the truck. In this picture Papa had just finished moving them all to her other side so they could nurse. She doesn't really mind him there which is wonderful!!

Here is a great picture of the piglets!! They have SO much color on them compared to ours that we got last year!! I told Papa we might consider keeping some of these just for the colors!! That way we could tell them apart. For instance this pig and the other one with a long tail do not have names yet as we can't tell them apart!! The 3rd gilt we have has no tail so she is Stub but these 2 are almost exactly the same!!

Here is Papa holding a little piglet, we think the 1st born, who was cuddled up to the little rubber feeder trying to stay warm! We think she had him 1st and then moved to the pig bed and he couldn't keep up! But Papa brought him over and she 'lectured' him and checked him out and now they are all together again and she loves him :)

OHHH they are SO CUTE!!! I'm sure E will want to hold one!! The kids are still sleeping but I will post their reaction!!
