missuscluck Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 We collected our piglets on Friday and they are all now happy in their new home. Rather than be blather on about it on here, for those of you who are interested I have started a blog on Vox. I am a bit of a techno numpty so I have done my best... and I think that this link will work. http://lyndathorley.vox.com/ Hope those of you who are interested enjoy reading it.

Guest Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 ahhhh, they look very comfy buried in the straw. I'm sitting here eating a ham, cheese and mustard pannini wondering what home grown ham tastes like good luck with both the piggies and the chicks. I've got the Bonzo's 'Jollity Farm' stuck in me head now. "Stuff it up your jumper, vo-do-di-oh" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Ah Lynda sounds very exciting but I'm not sure about the chicks for dinner . I think your set up is fab and wish you all the very best, cant wait for the next instalment......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 "Stuff it up your jumper, vo-do-di-oh" You're gonna have to elaborate on that one Poet before I think you've had too much organic gin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beki Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Ahhh wow! Are you rearing them for meat? Or will they be pets? We want to eventually rear pigs for free range pork. I'd like to do the same with chickens (not for selling, but for our personal consumption) but i have no one who would be prepared to 'do the deed' itsself I don't think i'd have a problem plucking them or eating them, it's just the actual culling i don't think i'd be able to do Terrible aren't i? Good luck with your venture! The piglets look adorable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbaraJ Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 They look so cute buried in the straw. Do you need to shut them in at night or is the door left permanently open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 How gorgeous - and good on you for being prepared to rear them and eat them, it's too easy for us to eat what's on our plate and ignore its origins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missuscluck Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 They look so cute buried in the straw. Do you need to shut them in at night or is the door left permanently open? No we dont have to shut them in. The door kit was an 'optional extra' It will only be used if for some reason we need to split them up. The door is left open all the time.

Lesley Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Good luck with it all Lynda We've always named our weaners - it does make it difficult..... We don't name our table birds though - well, apart from the fact that they are all called Dinner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missuscluck Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Dinner is a good name. No doubt about that! Posted a few more piccys today on the vox blog of them out and about.
