Next in line after the chicks was the pigs. We brought them over last Friday. 8 pigs, all of them Berkshire, with some having a bit of Yorkshire in the mix.
Bringing them here was a bit of a trick. We rented a cargo van, put a tarp and some straw down and then drove the little dudes over from Wingham, Ontario. 8 pigs in a van is pretty hilarious and heartbraking. Hilarious because the pigs are still pigs and doing regular piggy things like snuffling through the straw and rubbing up against each other. Heartbreaking because they're obviously scared and don't really enjoy the trip (one little guy got car sick on the way).
Once they arrived though, the pigs made a pretty quick transition and seem to be at home in the little barn out in front of the house.

OK OK I still maintain that I don't much like pigs, but they are pretty damn cute... Just keep 'em friendly!
