Moving the Oinkers

The first thing you´ll notice is how they´ve grown!  The pigs got BIG, just like that.  Just, one day, they couldn´t be called pig-lets anymore.They still enjoy a good sprint, they´re just...big.  Growing fast.We´ve been shifting them along with their sheep/chicken fence.It´s very gratifying to see them start rummaging joyously in whatever´s new and green.  It won´t be green for long.It was hot day, so I couldn´t cut them off from their latest wallow.  I put a loop in the fence to contain their latest dig.  We´ll just have to accept that they´re going to dig a crater at every stop.This one is quite large.  Quite deep.  Almost square.  The perfect size for one pig.A little bit awkward to climb out of.Until another pig comes along. Can I get in there now?Surprisingly, they both kind of fit.This is just before they had a big fight, one with no winner, that looked like two water balloons trying to escape from a taco shell.  There isn´t room to wrestle in the wallow.On the other side of the fence, the chickens wasted no time moving  in where the pigs had been, checking out the pig pallet. Playing queen of the haystack.And doing some wallowing of their own.
