smallholding telly – channel piglet

the piglets are a week old now

born

and once cleared of nasal mucus, they quickly suckle

for a few days its feed sleep feed sleep

and dodge being sat on by the mother…one failed, squashed dead, eaten overnight by the mother to keep the ark clean

growing quickly over the week, their individuality is apparent almost immediately

one or two more confident, more inquisitive than the others

after six days one or two clamber over the lip of the ark and out, followed by the others…following the mother, copying everything
