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.
