Poupoulles
Chillin' with the herd
So after some delay, we are picking up our little feeders tomorrow. We built them a moveable house and they will till up the veg garden, get to root, and eat all the weeds, leftover produce etc...
I built a three sided hoop house using pallets, hog panels and a stury tarp. Its tall enough for me to stand up in!! Should I maybe set them up in a dog kennel while they are small? Their pen is the 16x16 hog panel box that will get moved as needed until they have dug up the whole garden.
The "pig palace" we built was kind of with two market sized pigs in mind. The two little guys we are getting tomorrow will be about lost in there! Do I need to confine them to their house for a few days? Should I give them extra deep bedding?
How do I transition them to their new home?
