As its a piggy post, just seems fitting that I got a cute photo of Miss Rooten Tooten with hay head happening this morning, I did get a awesome photo today of the piglets but I am saving it for wordless weds 🙂

So as someone else noticed, along with myself that while we had three different good size black feeder bins, which worked just fine for chow, when it came time for real food, the piglets where overrunning it and themselves, which means that the strong are pushing the smaller females out of the way a bit, so it was time to build a longer piglet style trough, I like the width of the bottom but can already see that the side height that the book said, must be for wee piglets because we will need to take it apart in the next week or two and add in another two or four inches in height, once we split them off, we will need to troughs, my book says one foot of length per piglet and two feet per adult pig, so for the piglets we need eight feed of trough..

As I am splitting them up into two groups and because it mean that the feeder troughs can be used in other ways later for other critters, I had him make them into four foot lengths, helping control weight, fitting though doors, carrying an fitting on pen walls etc.

If you want to see the first introduced on the piglets to it, here is the video, what I can’t figure out is how come if I take a picture in the barn it comes out so dark I can’t use it, even with fiddling with the lighting but if I can a video I get ok footage.. very odd, might have to crack out the booklet and see if I can figure out how to adjust the settings somehow..

Ps, the front half of the video is working but the back half is glitch on my computer, sorry about that, I will see if I can figure out why, it worked perfect when it went up..
