Granny's gone and done it again

Yes and no. I do take her out for walks in the morning and in the afternoon. Usually weighing/trailer training is in the morning before food. HOWEVER, my pig is in the same pen as my brother's pig and sometimes my feeding schedule gets messed up. I could go in (its a horse trailer, so decent-sized), BUT she doesn't follow me. I walk her with a show stick while I stand between her loin and back legs. That's what will happen at the show too. I'm sure she will learn...its just gonna take time.

Can you teach her to walk with a harness, on a leash?

A bantam laid that ginormous egg???

It did and the bantam is pretty small too. I have often been surprised at how big of an egg some of my bantams lay.

I dont know. I dont want to bother her.

Sometimes a random phone call from a friend can be a big booster in life.

I am just walking her over to the trailer and putting food in it. Maybe I can try using that method...I just don't want her biting me.

She is a picky eater and doesn't like treats.

What about those anise flavored horse treats or black oil sunflower seeds?

Don't you have her number?

She has Wishings.

Sorry all got side tracked with Lambs.

But I had to come post the picture of the chicks that hatched yesterday. I have goslings hatching as we speak so if you can wait a day I should have some pictures of those for @Granny Hatchet

I don’t have horse treats, but I do have the BOSS. It will definitely affect her body though.

Clicker train her.

Those aren’t bad ideas, but I would rather focus on what I will do at the show. There will be no clickers or harnesses at the show and that’s just another thing to get her used to. I’m sure she’ll figure it out. It’s all about repetition!

Okay…gotta go to the pig shift now.
