I take the males out at six weeks old I'm not sure you would call it weaning them as I was watching them this morning and they are eating hay and bits of grass already so I'm thinking the little blighters come out part weaned to start with. |

Yep, the males are soon sexually mature and ready to make new babies quite early aren't they?

And off she waddles for a mooch, a munch, a nose at what's going on with the chickens opposite her and then back indoors again. Funny little piggy.

she is oooh so cute Emma. thanks for photos. her run looks good,I wish I had a permanent grassy run for them. I think as long as they have lots to do and look at , especially chickens they are happy little things aren't they. churdling along without a care in the world. Fizz's big day is her eat and then snooze. all four legs out like a dog. CB
