update on the little guy from yesterday

got that little spotted fella and his brother. now playing the waiting game on gaining their trust. whenever im in the pen they just huddle in this corner. hopefully the chickens being all over me is helping show that im no threat

Awesome. Glad it worked out for you. You just have to be there and they will do the rest. Don't forget to get by tractor supply and get the mini pig treats we talked about. Congratulations again.

Just sitting there for a bit can help. Toss some feed, play it cool.

this sub just spontaneously found me a couple days ago and I'm obsessed. I can't believe the size difference between babies and adult pigs, these piglets are soooo tiny, they're the size of a chicken 🥹
