So we tried breeding Fannie, but she was not nice to the boar. "Peter" is a Berkshire Tamworth cross that was offered up for breeding, but so far breeding number 1 did not take, we were too late to catch Fannie's next heat, and we are really hoping the third time will be a charm. Pig romance is not easy!
We had another batch of egg hatch, but only got four chicks again. This time we lost one due to cat or child injury. We aren't sure which. I think we are going to wait for spring now, I am hoping the Delaware hens will do some of the hatching for us.
We are on foal watch now, Diva is ready to foal any day now and that is always exciting. Nothing like fuzzy new babies to brighten up the barnyard!
