Muddy’s homestead expansion journey!

Maybe it’s just “watched incubator” phenomenon but I have a feeling we may have piglets tonight

Pics or it didn't happen

I’ll definitely be getting pictures when the time finally comes
My original estimated date was Wednesday but could still be awhile yet.
She actually drags the ground when she walks now but can’t do anymore exam than back scratches she won’t let us near her belly or teats to get a better estimate

It takes forever. I've had to camp out in the barn all night before. Now I have Mulefoot sows and they don't need help like my Hampshires did, so I don't have to babysit them all night.

Why do you not have a web cam on her so we can all watch?

I'd have to help pull babies occasionally. Make sure you have gloves and Dawn dishsoap and lots of paper towels. Baby piglets have 2 sharp teeth, if you have to reach in their mouth to pull them be careful. Also try to only pull when she pushes.
