Just been out to check/feed pigs and they came hooning over as soon as they heard the bucket. They are getting more adventurous - they would only go a few metres away from their bed a few days ago, but today they ate out of their flash custom-made pig trough (some old spouting wired to the fence).
They are a bit wary of it as there is an electric wire running around the bottom of their pen and we think one of them got a belt from it last week. There is some alkathene pipe covering the wire near their food trough though - don't want to put them off eating!
The one closest to the camera is called Hock and the other is Ham.
The chooks all came running over too as they thought they'd be in for some feeding (like Dee they also clearly think they are starving - don't they know they are meant to be "free range"?!). But they still really don't like the pigs so didn't even try to nick their food.
