Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

[vehve]

Well, keeping the sow is the most important thing. Nice to hear things are progressing.

Y'all are awesome. And the internet is nothing short of miraculous. How wonderful to have support from someone at the other end of the globe!

for Mrs. Sow (or Ms. I mean.. she's not married.. she never even met the fellah)

If anyone can pull her through OZ can....

Hopfully she wont suffer any damage to her ability to reproduce again.

If she makes it

I am not sure that her ability to produce was not the problem in the first place.

this sow had part of her labia external torn off in trauma from her sister several months ago.

she required assistance with every piglet.

I am culling heavily as I selectively breed so she may be sold as soon as she weans.

I will have to decide if I wasn't too risk going through this again with her.
