I want to be 100% sure

Firstly we have the two who I reckon were boars, but now there a wheek old I'm thinking the top one may be a sow :(

I'd also agree top one girl, second one boy! Guess that's not what you wanted! Other 3 all look like little ladies.

One the top one was a day old it looked like a boar but now I think sow too. I reckon its 4 sows and 1 boar.
 
I can see how it would look like a boar, but it's not the same shape 'down there'. I presume you have tried pressing to see if anything pops out?

If you have an older male or Dad you could also try and pair the baby boy up. Always nicer when there is more than one baby to be taken away from Mum for company though!
 
Oh I have five boars, one has been a foster daddy before.

No actual dad as the mother pig is a rescue case.
 
Well the top one certainly looks to be a sow - luckily you've still got a couple of weeks before it becomes a problem, they'll grow and it will become more obvious. Don't stress until then - just keep an accurate record of the dates so you don't go over the 21 days. Take more pics if you still have difficulty then.

They all look like sows with the exception of number 2 who definitely looks like a boar! :))
 
Yeah, the top one originally looked like a boar to me at a day old but now their 8 days old I am thinking a sow. Would of been a bit easier if it was 3 sows and two boars or 5 sows as 4 sows and 1 boars isn't the best.

My OH's mum who has the mother was planning to keep a sow baby, and a lady on here is wanting a boar, so the boar will be okay. That just leaves 3 sows, so either they decide to keep 2 sow babies and rehome the other two OR find a home that'll take all three OR rehome two and find a home that will take the single sow to go with others.
 
if you are unable to find a home for a single sow, I can help, I have the room. x
Hope they all find wonderful homes x
 
Think the top one is a sow, and the second boar:))

and as you say the others sows:))
