    Raising Pigs with Chickens

    Not exactly sure where to post this so I guess I will post it here! I’m currently looking into buying 2 piglets. I plan on having them in a rotational “grazing” system(moving them everyday). If I put chickens with them from the start is it possible they will bond with the chickens? I know that...

    Introducing 2 female pigs

    What's the best way to introduce 2 female pigs about 25lb each. I have been letting them meet through the fence for a week, so today I let them meet face to face and they got into a lovely fight.

    Pig help please

    About a month ago I bought 2 male mini pigs from a farmer in my area and I've been frustrated ever since. I'm looking for help because I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep them, but I want to be sure that I've done everything I can do before giving up on them. At first, I kept them inside...
