Overrun with beasties
I finally brought home 2 little gilts, 8 weeks old, granddaughters of American badboy, not that I'm familiar, but sounds impressive. ..
They're doing well, so far (3 days) I was told the bigger girl was better quality and should be the one I keep, but she's a little aggressive, very very skittish, and takes much longer to adjust and learn than her smaller sister.
I'm still learning. ..this morning when i fed I noticed the bigger gilt was arching her back down. ...looked like she was avoiding an imaginary hand touching her back. . I thought she was going to lay down, or, Idk, chilling her belly in the mud, but she's still doing it. ...behaving normally other than that.
Is this an indication of discomfort? Belly ache? She's still eating, drinking, and sitting in the pool. ....just looks strange and I'm not familiar enough with pigs to know what is normal behavior.
