Love all the pictures and piggies

This little pullet (Hinkjc pullet) is a little purring machine. When she is enjoying something her motor is going just like a cat

Hey Jeeper Nice pigs. Just so you know a few FFA kid's project pigs over here got pig lice.

SOMEONE FROM SPRING CREEK!!

Me and saym have been the only ones from this area for while now! Glad to know someone else from here is on BYC!

Yea, the advisor told everyone about the lice, and he gave everyone who bought pigs a shot, so hopefully if our pigs had it, it cleared up. i never noticed any lice on them, but better safe than sorry.

Jeepers, A few questions.
What weight did you have your pigs slaughtered at?
How long did it take you to raise them to that weight?
Where did you get them butchered or did you do it yourself.

I've been talking to my wife about trying to raise one or two the last few weeks.

Also they have had one die last week with brown lesions behind its ears, died the day after some injections for lice. A vet is going to do a necropsey on it monday in my Vet Med class, let you know what caused it.

Great looking piggies! I love pigs, although not for eating but I think they make great pets and garbage disposals. hehe

So far two chicks have hatched out! Not a good ratio but still very exciting. You can definitely tell who the Daddy is on both of them. Almost completely pure black. Both of them hatched out from light brown eggs so I am going to say their Moms are one of the wyandottes. I had two eggs try to hatch out but just stopped in the middle of it. So we would have had four by now if not for that.

I took some pictures of the Mama and babies:

This is the first baby that hatched out yesterday, I just love her colour, it is like she is made out of black velvet:

This is the Golden-Laced Wyandotte hen that I put on the nest after 3 of 6 got up and did not come back:

This is new Mama with the first baby:

I watched this baby hatch this morning, it was so cool. I should have taken out the camera the first time so I could have gotten it on video but I did not think about it until it was too late:

And that's it for now, I am still going to try to get a hatching out on video, I just have to remember to take out the camera every time.
