Just in case anyone doubted you pigs do turn top dirt into cement. We used our pigs opposite of you. The family farm was in S. central Ky. where the under lying bedrock was Karst Limestone (Mammoth Cave), great for getting calcium into the grasses but horrible for ponds, it wasn't unusual to wake and find our pond(S) completely drained, we'd fence off the leaky pond, put a good number of hogs in and let them transform the bottom into an impervious water tight covering.

@MoeSlislack 6 жыл бұрын

that's really interesting. around here in south west Georgia we are actually a pretty low elevation and have a lot of springs but also have lime sinks. I see people around here trying to make ponds and a lot of them never hold water. I have seen a few that do but I think they actually concreted the bottoms but I'm not certain. I will be sure and tell them what you said about pigs being able to make it where the pond will hold water.

I'd be dividing the pasture into smaller enclosures, and bringing the chooks in behind the pigs rather than concurrently. It might be slightly less efficient, but eliminates the likelihood of the pigs having a chicken dinner.

@ART and BRI Hello! I'm a new subscriber from Ireland. We use our pigs to 'plough' our paddocks all the time. We find the key is to make sure they're moved along before they get stuck in to one area. They till the areas we grow crops on for us, and them, and also when we want to reseed pasture. I once had a sow pull all the bedding from a farrowing ark, make a nest in the paddock and have her litter in the open air, wonderful to watch! We recently 'retired' our old sow and boar and their replacements are going in with the chickens in a few days. Have a great day. 🐿️"

I had a boar that ate a lot of our chicken's (he got sold). But in general the sows have done well together. The chicken's eat with the pig's & many hang out with them, including sleeping. Yes, if you leave pig's in 1 spot too long they will tear it up. But helpful when you need it tilled up.

umm since im old and handicapped all i can do is give advice from our experiences. We 1st ran all of our animals together on 50 acres split into 5 pastures which included goats, pigs, chickens and ducks. But did notice we lost a few chickens not that bad but it seems its because pigs are territorial of their feed and chickens will try to steal their feed .... so when pigs snap at the chickens they occasionally hurt or kill them so then they'd eat'em.... we only lost 3 roosters that way but it was suppose to be our food not theirs. So then we kept the pigs and goats together then on rotation the chickens followed the pigs and goats. Like you said though you can't leave pigs in a spot to long or they'll stomp the ground into concrete also if you let it get muddy at all your goats could get foot rot! The only muddy place we had was dwn at the shallow end of the pond that the goats avoided like the plaque! And chickens following the pigs and goats is also great way to reduce parasites. Goats clear brush, pigs are like plows and chickens are like rakes leveling out the land lol oh forgot was noticing your mora knife link i have mora bushcraft black for every day carry its a great box opener too lol but i get mine from this guy www.ragweedforge.com/SwedishKnifeCatalog.html its usually a lil cheaper than amazon and hes just a real nice guy :)

When I was about 6, I was at my great, great Uncle's farm and he had just got a delivery of 500 chicks. While the adults went in to visit, I stayed out to look at the chicks. Two of the hogs got loose and knocked over the boxes of chicks and ate them. I was yelling for help and hitting them with sticks but I couldn't do any good. By the time the adults heard me and got down to the barn, it was over. My Dad really fussed at me for hitting the hogs. He said they could have killed me before anyone could have saved me. I love pork on a plate - serves them right!

My chickens are free range, and keep the tick/flea/ant/biting fly populations nice and low, especially in the pig areas. Fun fact, our pig pen was once quite nice, and only had a single 6'x8' area that was 'mud', but one of our gilts decided she wanted MORE mud, and stuffed hay and mud into drain that allowed excess water to flow out of the pen, rather than into it. Instead of taking the time to fix that, we just added another 50'x100' area, on higher ground that they could get to. Only time we ever had a problem with one of our pigs going for a chicken, was when one of our roosters attacked her piglets, and well, when a 700 pound sow has had enough of your crap, you dont fair well. Especially when you are 4 pound Frizzle Rooster.

In my experience chickens and pigs don't mind each other but if the pigs are large the chickens May contribute to the pigs diet more than you or they would like. I have no idea how common that problem is but I have seen whole chickens disappear without a sound. If we see the pig it gets a dab of paint and shortly contributes to the chickens and the rest of the homestead.

Couldn't you make a few perches for the chickens up where the pigs can't get at them as easily? Or did I just miss where your chicken coop is? Either way I love what you're doing.

ideally you can use fencing to shuffle the pigs and chickens between various parcels so they can both benefit from the other without them ever mingling. Both are omnivores and pigs will go from living among chickens to eating them without warning
