A New Predator....PIGS!!!!

[ozark hen]

Well, that stupid chicken is still in the pig pen and I keep trying to show her a low spot to fly out of

Then around noon today I saw two of my guineas fly over the pig pen and one land inside. It kept running back and forth trying to find an opening but I wasn't worried about him as they always fly in and out of there. I just took some veggie scraps out and saw something weird in the mud, then I realized......it was my guinea, I then saw conclussive body part in another spot. I can't believe it! No, they are not mean but they are just eating machines. Mine have never had meat either just pig starter and tons of greens and veggie scraps.

On the HBO series Deadwood they were always throwing dead bodies/victims in the hog pen. I thought "Hollywood" now I know better......who'ld have thought?

Sorry for your losses.... :aww

I think potbellies are somewhat different than full size pigs. Mine have never tried to hurt my chickens, even though the chickens try to steal their food all the time, they just block them with their butts. My one roo sleeps with them in a big dog house, his choice and stands on their backs. When I let them out they will chase the chickens(more like run through the center of their group) for a moment or two out of excitement, but then they go lay in the dirt with them or route up stuff for them to eat. They share somethings with the chickens! They will eat eggs but never hurt a chicken, although I would not trust them with chicks. They love the horses and climb up their leg and give them LOVE nipps. Play with the emu too. Never been mean to a person either, unless you count sitting on your feet until you scratch them. I guess it just depends on the pig and type of pig.

P.S completely understand the hounds....

Pigs.

I have a love hate relationship with them.
Guess you won't be shedding many tears when they reach butcher age.
