Scotters… I just love your positivity; wonderful sense of humour - including laughing at yourselves; and just your zest for appreciating every small little blessing each day brings… WHY CAN’T YOU HAVE AT LEAST ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS???? You are THE BEST family entertainment… balm to my soul!
Scotters trotters …how exciting …love how you recycled the old table into a piggy palace! Now I can’t get that song ‘ Mud mud, glorious mud’ out of my brain!
Those food buckets are too deep for piglets. They will fall in. Most people have 2-3inch pans for their piggies. (Even full grown). Their heads will be too fat to fit in the buckets. The tires are too deep als. Bury them at least halfway, and get a shallow pan that will fit into the rim. Also when building the ramp, don't make it too steep, make a gentle incline. And put some shallow cross bars, incase it gets wet so they can get up and down safely. (Like chicken coop ramp/ladders). I can't wait kunekune are my favorites. They have so much personality. I could sit and play with them all day
BEWARE - pigs will eat their way through wood for fun. Wooden posts, wooden gates etc. Your netting is wire so that is safe, but your wood will be destroyed if they can get their teeth on it. You might need to upgrade to metal fencing posts (scaffold poles are good) and metal gates.
Love the new piggy palace, one suggestion would be to make a door at the other end of it so you can clean it out easier and you won’t have to crawl through dirty straw etc if you need to get to a poorly pig who is right at the back, also it will help with a through breeze for the piggies when it’s very hot. Can’t wait to see them when they settle in, running around and playing in their wallow (which I have to say is fabulous). Sending love from Devon 🥰
Look at how Project Portugal built his pig houses. He also got his pigs from Cindy. Have you watched any of Cindy's videos on her total inadequate fencing for larger pigs! 😂
Piglets will be fun. I have a sneaking suspicion they'll grow much quicker than you think. You'll need to secure the fence to the ground with heavy stones or the pigs will dig under it. That wood won't be heavy enough after a few weeks. They can crawl through the gate as piglets.
Badger always comes up with the best ideas! Using the half rounds of the old table is genius! Well done clever man! The new family members are going to be fun to have around!🌷🌺🐽🐽🐽
If you watch Sarah and Lukes RU-vid channel you know that both their sows got pregnant by wild boars. Not an ideal thing to have pigs mixed with wild boars. They had quite a few piglets as well, not easy to get rid of them, who would want them?
Are you getting them from Cindy? Kune-kune are great pigs. They are also great escape artists so make sure you secure the fencing very well and if you have foxes around secure their night pen or they'll get snatched at night.☺ The piglets of course, not big pigs. Cindy has lost quite a lot of piglets through foxes coming at night. Your fence holes might be too big, piglets squeeze through it easy. Maybe put chicken mesh at the bottom too?
Cindy’s pigs are so cute. 🥰 Have you seen how Sarah has trained her pigs Kune-Kune Pigs? They follow her around her land and she got them from Cindy. Watch from 9 minutes: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_roEVOSjPTA.htmlsi=bKEFHEmZ0UNSoZyM
First comment I see and it's exactly what I was going to say. You have never had so much trouble with a loose animal until you chase down pigs. My father in law used a place my ex and I had many years ago to put some pigs and they kept getting loose. The might think it's fun, but you will not. They are joyful critters though. Probably better than chickens. Elysia English has some and she is on RU-vid. Her and her husband Philip live in Nova Scotia now. You should ask her about them too. Good luck!
Hi. It's interesting to see how many different uses Badger can make for pallets. He is so talented. I hope that you enjoy your piggies. Love from Pam in Grafton New South Wales, Australia.
Cindy’s piglets are adorable and trained to love human interaction. You are brave to start with 4. Their poop is great for compost. My only suggestion is to make one of the roof panels lift up so you can clean and put in fresh straw. Don’t think you will be crawling in there once pigs are in there😂. The kids will love them too❤
Hy guys 🦋when I got my 🐖 my brother told me that if I put all the droppings in one place in the beginning they will go on the same place to do their business 🫣I thought he was making fun of me but I did it anyway and it worked, when I let them outside in the morning and they went straight to the “toilet 😊 🦋 🇮🇸
That mudbath looks great, they are going to love it. A short warning thou, pigs like to scratch their side on posts, trees etc., to get the dried mud off, so it might be a good idea to eighter make the thin posts from the shade thicker or offer them some freestanding thick post for scratching. That might keep your fenceposts alive for a bit longer. Pigs are pretty strong when grown up, even the smaller breeds. Have a wonderful sunday, Julia😊
Pigs are fun. The other comments have many good ideas for feeding and safety. It's time to get your chicks. From tiny checks they will need five or six months to mature before you get any eggs. Badger is the Pallet King. I think he could build anything from pallets. Your channel is so much fun to watch.
Yay, you are getting piglets from Cindy!!!! She rocks and so do her pigs! I look forward to seeing which ones you choose. They will grow quite a bit. You'll need to make another pig sty later so they can all fit inside. The gate might be too small for them when they are full grown. The piggies will love the wallow. What a great idea to have the spring water flow down to their enclosure!
Hello I am a pomme currently been living in NZ for 25 years also have pigs kune kune’s included I think that you will need a larger land ,ass for 4 fully grown kune kunes
Best thing I've heard all day...."NO...I'm going to keep them"💕💕💕💕I understand how many, many 'off grid' folk do all the growing/raising/killing of vege and livestock....but that would not be me. I had 6 very spoilt & super fed chickens way back and one by one they stopped laying over the many years and took their time to depart. I have ONE old girl left...she hasn't laid an egg for a year or so...but I still keep buying the mash from the produce agency....and still send the OH down to the shed along with a little bag of greens. Maybe I'd be a hopeless 'farmer/homesteader/whatever'...so I'll stick to trying to deprive the rodents of my little vege garden (especially my beautiful broccoli plants😒😒) produce...THEY, I have no problem with dispensing of. How exciting is this news after that mind boggling penthouse barn conversion😯😯👌👌
Just when we think the Scotters couldn’t possibly get any more excitement on their land, here come some pigs!! 😅 I thought you were going to get some chickens first, lol!! You constantly keep us on our toes and that’s why I’m so glad I found your channel, never a dull moment! 😊💚
Those spindly legs on that pig shelter are not going to cut it mates. The pigs will use them as scratching post and the whole lot will come tumbling down. Kune Kune's are so CUTE!!
I have been waiting to see your piglets settle into your home with your family. I saw you on Cindy's channel when you went to see the piglets. I can't wait to see the children's little faces when your piglets arrive. Oh my Giddy Aunt, that is on of my sayings Kayla, you made me chuckle to myself. Brilliant work, and another brilliant video. Thank you. ❤💐
I need a Badger in my life lol, my husband would never do anything like this I can't even get him to hang a two-sided hanging shelf 😂 he's a great man he's just a computer nerd indoors 😂 you guys do so much work and do it with such happiness, I could just see me and my husband out there especially in that heat lol. Fantastic job much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖 PS can you believe I'm from the Midwest mostly down south and he's an indoor person lol
Welcome to the Scotters family piglets🐽.... cute, smart, mischievous and a masters of escaping! 😅Never boring with them. Cindy must have given you some useful tips to get you started. Congrats
You can make moveable fencing to rotate the piggies around the terraces. Take a look at Sow the Land where they have a nice setup. (Sorry, they eat their piggies, ignore that part).
Excelente vidio meus queridos amigos Kayla e Badger. Foi uma optima ideia comparem porquinhos é muito bom depois tem estrume para cultivar é das melhores coisas ter estrume de animais . Estou muito feliz por vocês a casa dos poquinhos esta o must o Badger é fantástico faz tudo com coisas recicladas e fica sempre fantástico. Adoro a Kayla e o Badger sao pessoas maravilhosas estao sempre de acordo. Muito obrígados meus amigos boa semana para toda a familia God bless you a lot ❤❤🙏 🐖🐖🐖🐖🐓🐔🐤🐥🐦🌱🌱🌱🌱⚘⚘⚘⚘
Nice video update. Can you update us on what happened to the chickens? . And an update on the Bees?. Lots to do so much for you having a rest before you restart the house. Well done turning into a right little homestead ❤❤😊😊
Goats are great to clean up the wild .. but eat every thing... I hope your pigs will be in a reinforced enclosure... They can be devastating too... !!! Where every things on their menu...
I’m all excited for next week 😊. My niece has kunekune pigs too for the same reasons and loves them. But they raise them for meat 🤷🏻♀️. She has a huge homestead in northern British Columbia Canada
In you research on keeping kunekunes, have you come across RU-vidrs Sow The Land? If you are going to be using yours to manage your terraces you might like to see their method of moving them about. Good luck and have fun with them.
