The brown and black brick house pig as my dad says is Tyga she is our largest pig. Despite being the runt when we got them. She won't let anyone eat not even the male Wilbur. Wilbur and Tyga are now in a pen together. And Sassy the black one and the pink one is Fern. Fern and Sassy are now together however they are not getting bigger. Any suggestions for getting them bigger with lean meat. I plan to worm them soon as I can. :fl hopefully that will help some.

What I do if you hand feeding is stay in the pen when there eating and when the pigs trys push the other pigs just give the pig a slap and do this for both after awile they well say on there own sides of the trough .
And for weight gain you can try feeding hard boiled eggs, calf manna, goats milk and a trick I use is to wet the feed so they wont have to stop eating to drink
