The signs are good...

I went out to feed the pigs earlier this morning and Delilah, the first gilt to go in with the boar, has gone from looking a little larger to looking like she swallowed a cannonball overnight.

Her belly has also dropped - not a lot, but enough so that her straight underline now looks curved - and her nipples are now very noticeable.

So, the signs are good for her being in-pig and would tie in with her being served by the boar about four weeks ago (matching what we thought). So, we're looking at late November for piglets with a bit of luck.

Oh, wow, how exciting! I'm really envious. I just don't have the time right now to get livestock (apart from the poultry) bt I would really love some. Please keep us up to date on the pregnancy (is it called in-pig?) and good lucks with lots of little trotters :)
