The exciting eight! These baby pigs are the newest addition to our farm.
After working for a couple of hours at the comfort of our farmhouse, I did my morning routine of feeding our livestock. To my surprise, one mother pig suddenly has eight piglets! Come to think of it: I never heard any noise yesterday coming from the pigpen. That was weird because a mother pig would usually make a loud groan while giving birth. Perhaps, it was an easy delivery for the mom pig because it has ample exercise everyday because of the rice hull flooring.
If you noticed, this pig gave birth to the same place wheree the first mom pig delivered her 7 babies. and apparently, they made coconut husk nests which are of the same size.
Mommy pig with eight baby pigs!
They also have the same motherly instinct when I was trying to take a picture of them together with their piglets as this only means that even though these wild boars are now bred in captivity, they still retain their animal traits of being protective to their young ones against any harm--That makes a mom pig a great mom pig.
I can't wait for the other mother pig to give birth too! Hopefully within this week, we would have at least 10 piglets more! Haha! I think this number is quite big considering that the other two had seven and eight respectively.
