23rd Jan and Kiwi didn’t come out for her breakfast which is most unusual, unless the weather is very bad she doesn’t like rain!
Peering into the ark it was obvious why, she was farrowing a week earlier than we thought. A couple of piglets didn’t make it but five are fit and healthy. It’s pretty cold here so we put plenty of straw down. Kiwi’s been very maternal, every time a piglet comes out she grunts at it and nudges it back in! Two weeks on and Kiwi is letting them venture out of the ark.
