I have a 40' round pen with a 16'x4' loading chute. I currently have 1 barr, 2 sows, and 2 small boars. One of the sows is pregnant.
This will be the first time I try to raise a litter. What do I need to know? Should I put her in the loading chute until her litter is weened?

the boars & barr hogs might try to eat the new piglets also I had some drown because I didn't have a covered area but I don't think you have to worry about anytime soon..good luck

Thanks for all of the replies.
It looks like I waited too long 2 separate her. She had 6. They are all quite active. I will catch and seperate her and the piglets up tomorrow.
Thanks again.
