Like clockwork

You can almost set your clock by a piglet's development.  Here we are, exactly three weeks on since Truffle's Little Flowers were farrowed and they have their noses in their mum's  bowl. They may not be eating too much but come the end of the week they'll have developed a taste for it and then they'll be as eager as she is come mealtimes.

It's also time they were out, running about and meeting the rest of the herd. To which end  this afternoon I removed some the obstacles to their exit routes from the pen. Won't be many days before I'll be showing pictures of their escapades!
