You two!!!! Well, these potbelly pigs that my friend has live in the house like a dog until they are too big...... So I doubt they will be bacon anytime soon. Yes, they can be litter trained! -Banti

Yes, I've known people that have been killed by them.

Whut?!?
Well, maybe if you fed it to them!
As of now they prefer the cow blood leftover from proccessing, kinda creepy seeing a pig back away from a pile of guts with its snout covered in blood though.

Pigs are pigs and will will dispose of a dead body........well at least in the movies they will. These weren't 300+ lbs but they were wild hogs. Tusks will slice you open very quickly.

I also remember reading (somewhere on BYC) that somebody had a chicken or two killed by there pigs. Not sure what size the pigs were though.

Question on Turkey Poults.... how long after hatching does it take for them to get stability and running around? The first one that hatched is seeming stable on his legs, the 2nd one does a lot of flopping around and ending up on his back. (less than 24 hours old).. Anyone with experience with this?? Ideas? Tips?

Check the turkey forum or better yet ask here. Good group of knowledgeable turkey people.
