Post is almost a year old but a great read. We just farrowed 3 without farrowing crates. SOW #1 a pro mother with no issues. Sows #2 and #3 are farrowing their first piglets. Sow #2 and #3 have a preexisting bond with each. I have separated them and you can see their displeasure. Piglets find gaps in the fence and at a 5 days old go between mothers. Is it okay to just give in and put the 2 younger moms together. I did have one crushed boar from 1 mother and 1 still born from the other. Same setup was used for the pro mom and she had zero piglets lost. Was the crushed pig do to inexperience or lack of using a farrowing crate?
