Hywel has joined the girls yesterday afternoon since he has recovered well enough from his near death illness two weeks ago. He is still very thin, though, and will probably take some time to put the weight back on. But he is no longer in pain. None of the girls is currently in or near season, so it doesn't really matter whether he does join two days earlier than planned!
As he has been socialising increasinlgy with the girls over the last few days (whenever it was safe), things have gone pretty smoothly. There was quite a scuffle with a very grumpy Nerys, but as she isn't the top sow and the others have all accepted Hywel, they are cautiously getting along now.
Here are some pics of the intro:
