Orchard Pigs

I don't think I ever mentioned that our little pet pigs live in an old orchard, this is the view from their pig houses at the moment.

(More on pig houses to follow shortly)

Pig Housing

There are lots of different types of pig houses on the market, wooden pig arks,

traditional galvanised arks, plastic calf hutches, the list goes on and on...

Having looked at some of the houses we decided to build our own using recyled materials, this decision was partly influenced by the offer of as much corrugated iron, wood and as many pallets as we required for free.

As you can see from these photograhs we had quite a bit to choose from!

So our next post will be about the building of our pig houses and pens but we can't leave without a gratuitous pig pic of Lucy & Bertie.
