Every few hours for the last few nights I have been up to check Poppy’s Sty TV but nothing. She is way past her due date now and there is milk in that udder but still no babies. Poppy does not have a perfect udder. She only had five piglets at her first farrowing and this resulted in some of the teats going blind.
Though the nine piglets she had in her second farrowing were more than happy.
She has never had trouble before so I can only conclude that the date is wrong. So we wait.
lady Astor still has a ways to go thankfully. I hope these animals behave and don’t give birth too close together.
I put the meat chickens out on the grass yesterday. They poo way too much to be raised inside. It is much cleaner to drag their house along the pasture – not to mention the fertiliser for the grass.
I am so tired now.
I will get going again. Lots to do . And I need to prepare for my new guest.
The weather is superb today. I hope you have a lovely day.

You must be exhausted. Hope all goes well and with good timing!
So much hope in that last image, the best colors at their brightest! I see energy there too. Good place to rest and restore.
Fingers crossed for lots of babies today!
oh my….have a quiet uneventful day!
I’m not good at waiting… outwardly I may look cool, calm and collected but if something serious is in the wings I’m like lets’s get this party started. Good luck ♡
Thinking of you and the farmy and the mothers-to-be and hoping that whilst we all were commenting around our own time zones the fact that there have been no comments from you may mean some local action . . . the bestest . . .
I have never seen pig teats before. I was amazed how many there are.

Get some rest sweet friend. We think of you often. Wish I was closer to help you out. XOXO – Bacon
Was just checking in to see if there was any news when I saw the beautiful baby bull! Congratulations! Hope all is going well…
Same here…. so I guess this is why we haven’t heard from your quarter today. Congrats to you and your new mammas, hope all’s well. ~ Mame 🙂
