We've been blessed with mostly mild and sunny weather since the arrival of the latest piglets.
Delila's brood have been running around since day 3 or 4 but Mrs Merkel - new mother that she is - kept hers inside for well past the first week. Net result is that her Conmen (aka the Lovelies) now they are out and about are well grown and look quite literally 'polished'.... taking after their namesake in many ways!
Delila's brood on the other hand are much smaller and livelier - already today - just 9 days old - they have been running around the area outside their pen.Delila - seasoned sow that she

is - doesn't worry about them at all. A gently snort is all it takes to call them back to the home run!
Meanwhile, we are still waiting for Ginger to deliver - Linda reckons it could be 6 May. If she's right that'll make a record three litters on the trot(ter) born on her day off. She must be wrong...... I for one will be most surprised if ginger can hang on that long.....................
She said only this evening that she was getting just a little over-heated and ready to deliver.... we shall see
