one of my female pigs gave birth unexpectedly. And I think she's have problems and don't know when she start but. Now she is shaking and crying, and I worried something is wrong. Any help please

I have 2 chickens, 1.5yr apart in age and my older australorp killed 3 speckled Sussex on the same day! So with only one SS left, I had to make a partition so they have separate coop/runs. Over the past year, the wood of the coop weakened with the elements and the mini pig (which I've had since...

Good morning! We just adopted this sweet pea and over the past few days her stomach seems to be growing quite a bit. Any chance she’s pregnant or just her sweet belly adding some pounds? 🥴😂 She came from a not great pig farm and we got her from the shelter.

I have an extra potbelly male to rehome. He's 6 months old, 30-35 pounds, solid black. Very friendly. Asking 75 for him, I will get pics if there is serious interest.

Hi all, we have a flock of 15 hens plus a rooster that have about a 1/4 acre run. We are getting two Guinea hogs (not Guinea pigs) and am wondering if anyone has this breed coexisting in same area as their chickens and how it’s going. I know some pigs will eat a live chicken and I want to avoid...

My gilt is in her second heat. But my boar is struggling to get on top, she is 1-2 inches taller than him. Is there anything I can do or do I just hope he figures it out?

So I have a female pig around 8 months or so. She lives full time with our boar but there's been no action from the boar. So i would like to know if there is anything that I can do to get some action between them. Some more info. They live in a pretty big pen with another female pig that has...

I have read about renting kuni kuni pigs to till and break up hard clay pasture. Well that’s what I have about two acres of and what I would love to have worked. I would like to plant wheat after they’re gone. I am not interested in keeping the pigs past 4-5 months and I will not eat these...

I’m desperately seeking ideas for a pig proof feeder. My pot belly pig constantly steals all my flocks feed! They all free range during the day but I’d still like them to have access to feed and every time I put any out my pot belly pig comes running and chases all the birds away. I chase her...

I would love to see if this will be the longes post and you can show off your pets and farm animals. This is my drake. Here is my rooster Strutter.

help! my potbelly pig rolled in a bit of diluted cleaning bleach and got some in her right eye and it caused a irritation and she’s unable to open her eyelid and i tried opening it and rising it out gently with water but it still looks pretty bad and it’s been a while and she hasn’t been able to...

I've got a 60+ pound pig that loves hanging out inside most of the day. The only problem is about 40% of our floor is hardwood. He slips a bit on his back legs with every step and I'm worried about his joints in the future, especially as he continues to grow. I've looked up shoes for dogs, but...

I've just gotten my first piglets. Mangalitsas, 2 gilts about 3 months old. I'm trying to research pig behavior and training. They're farm girls, not pets, but I desire all of my livestock to have a functional, trusting, trouble-free relationship with me. I've been doing a lot of reading...

Hey all! So I recently become a foster parent to a pot belly pig. The home this pig came from was...let’s say less than great, and this pig has bad skin, and dirt caked all over him. He’s very dried out, and you can tell he needs some serious moisture. Now, every other pig I’ve had in the past...

Pigs can be a lot of work. And a lot of fun. You can't be afraid to get your hands dirty that is for sure. Been raising Heritage Pigs for almost a decade and still can't say I have seen it all! You can use this thread to share photos, experiences or questions pertaining to the wonderful world of...

Hey folks.. hoping piggie lovers and historians can help me out a bit. We bought a new house and it has a stone "barn.. or rather a run of stone stalls.. some with concrete floors, others dirt. One was closed off into a chicken cook, another what I assume is a storage or milking shed. The last...
