if she's a typical pig carrying a typical litter, that number could easily be doubled :barnie:ep

Cool video :thumbsup Do a standing side picture I'd like to see udder development .

Now WHY would that not be comfortable for Priss?? 4 little hooves per baby, probably a minimum of 24 hooves kicking and pushing? :hu
Maybe . more But six to eight is common for a first litter .

if she's a typical pig carrying a typical litter, that number could easily be doubled :barnie:ep
This being her first I'd guess eight . It helps to know two things . Litter size she came out of ,and litter size the boar came out of .

Exactly she is SUCH a softy. Its probably like a uterine massage and she is just being a big baby about it ;)
She is gentle for sure . Soon them little squealers be running all over the place .:fl

Looks like she will have good milk . I still am guessing six or eight piglets . When she starts farrowing ,try to encourage her to lie in the middle of the stall . As she is laying now she would roll on pigs to get up . Nice clean stall your a good mid wife :thumbsup
