Growing up, and good chow! The piglets are gilts now!

So little Kermit says , I really enjoyed my chow, its very interesting, its got white bits and orange bits and it tastes so good.. (that would be chopped hard boiled farm fresh egg and raw whole sheep milk), he was not as sure what the interest was in the hay or the green bits but he will learn about it soon enough..

Tooties is such a polite pig with him, she is pretty much full grown and while I want him to have a friend and a sleeping mate, I might have to figure out a way to do a swing split gate or a creep feed for him, as he needs to eat as much as he wants, and she is forever on a diet, I swear she breaths and she is porky!

As for the piglets, they are big enough, that I really need to start calling them the gilts, they are to big to be piglets and they have blown right past weaner pig size and are now into gilt size.. Still not able to get good photos in the barn yet, but will find a nice melting day and take the herd out to play (hopefully they will in fact come out now, as for the coldest part of the winter, they would go out, shiver and run back in to their beddding and pens, wimps!

    How big do you consider “gilt” size? I had planned on extra sheep milk for my piglets, but mom farrowed before the sheep and the sheep and being greedy about their milk! 😡
