Me and Sophie went to the wilds of North Norfolk to get the free ads guineas that where living in a 'chicken shed'
we didn't know how many or what condition :o
we got thier to find 8 guinea Pigs in two plastic crates in a horse stable with fresh hay and clean water
they had been moved to the stable after some went 'missing' from the other shed either to foxes rats or stoats!
the shed was falling apart holes in fencing and walls (wooden)
the stable also had a resident family of barn owls!
the pigs where mixed up 3 boars 5 sows
we didn't know ages and none had names!
of the boars one was a lemon/lilac/white about a year old
a white lemon black about 6 months
a white black tan about 3 months
these where still with the sows the first one nicknamed 'Mr Pig' didnpt like the other two so has gone to Sophies
the other boys have been named
Arthur
Gwain
both living happily together in the shed seperate from the sows
Of the 5 Sows
one is heavily pregnant at least a finger tip seperated!
she is the same colour as Mr pig longer hair (not barbered!) about a year old

the second sow same colour some barbering thou with crest is asumed pregnant feels fat at the mo! about 6 to 12 months old
Now named Alice
third sow a golden agouti with crest about 6 to 12 months old
Now named Helena

Now named Louise
and then the youngest about 3 weeks old at the most
we don't know who the mum is! :o
Alice appears to still have milk as does Helena but a lot less!
now named Beatrice aka Little B
going to get more pictures tomorrow! but these are very good condition no skin complaints and they are all easy to handle thou hard to catch!
going to check on them in the morning as getting late now!
They are all quiet and settled at the mo fingers crossed everything should be fine
just hope not all pregnant!
