Delilah had 12 from 14

Post: # 43399Post Stonehead »

Delilah had 12 live piglets, two dead over night. The two dead ones were less developed, one half size, one three-quarter size.

All 12 live ones and Delilah doing well. More details on the blog - and before I get flak, I don't have time to upate the blog and post pics to three forums including this one.

Twelve from 14 is excellent and the two dead ones had clearly aborted a week or more ago.

Not a busy night - I checked her at 10.30pm and she was asleep as normal. Went out at 7am to feed her and she'd had them!

Must dash as have lots to do (all the normal workload plus piglets). Will try to post some pics here later, but as I said, there are some on the blog.

Congratulations - you're a daddy! Anyone who hasn't clicked on the link should go and have a look. They're really beautiful piglets.
