7 Little AGH Babies

[Redhead Rae]

One of my AGH sows had 7 babies last night! She majored on meat. Only one little female.

One of the little males got stepped on though. He has a half inch cut on his side and his toes on that back right leg are rolling over a bit. I cleaned him up and put iodine on the cut and put him back with mom.

Well, the injured baby disappeared about half an hour after I returned him to mama. I surmise he died and she cleaned up, or she didn't like the smell of the iodine and did away with what she assumed to be an intruder in the nest.

I had one other baby that got away from mama. He wandered off, got chilled and it almost killed him. I got it inside, warmed him up, fed him some colostrum I had on hand (I bought powdered colostrum and milk replacer just in case), gave him a bit of molasses to get his sugar levels up, and I put him back with mama. I can't tell which one he is now. I'm glad I was able to save him!

Hungry, Hungry Piggies!

What do you mean injured?
What happened?

I also removed the other sow (Freda) from the pen. She was was the one that stepped on the baby. She is a few weeks to a month or more out from farrowing and wasn't feeling motherly at all. Jericho calmed down a LOT after I moved Freda out.

@Kiki, Look at the last picture in my first post.
