I never imagined I would say I had pigs in my oven. Until Tuesday, that is. Our guinea hog surprised us with 4 piglets in -16*, windy temperatures. When we got her late this past Summer, the guy we bought her from said she was probably bred. Well, we waited beyond the allotted time for a guinea hog (3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days) and just assumed she was not bred. Well lo and behold, our boar must have bred her after they had been here a while...
I stayed up until ten o'clock the night before, turning this diaper box into an organizer. I was going to make a post about it. I had planned to use it in the trunk of my car. But we brought the piglets inside to dry them off so they wouldn't freeze and I needed a box to put them in:(
I had to rip out the dividers! :( Those piglets had better be awesome pigs!
Here are the first three in the oven. We had a fire going in the cook stove earlier, so the oven was still nice and warm.
Back out in the barn, in the nest that mama pig made...
Under the heat lamp.
They are so cute! All are doing well and growing!
