The waiting is killing me. I have four pregnant Guinea hog sows, all supposedly due to farrow within the month, and no reliable due dates on any of them. Clearly it's time for a game of "Guess the Piglets"!
Tell me in the comments to this post which sow you think will farrow first and what on what date. Anyone who is correct will be allowed to name one of the piglets!
Here are the contestants (all photos taken today):
Circe: She was supposed to be due on December 31, but she seems to have gotten pregnant on the following cycle, not the one when I saw her bred. Which would mean that her new due date should be about 3 weeks later, or sometime around January 21. This will be her first litter. She is fat and uncomfortable, and has some udder development. She declined to get up for her photo shoot, opting instead for the "I'm so uncomfortable, look at my belly" angle.
