How do I tell if my pig is pregnant? I know they're pregnant for 3 months 3 weeks and 3 days. A male pig broke into her pen a few weeks ago but I don't know if she was in heat then or not.

Hello, Pregnancy in pigs is generally about 114 days give or take 2 days. If Penelope did become pregnant by this boar, then you can run a series of tests to measure hormones however these may be expensive. Alternatively, you can obtain an ultrasound to check for pregnancy. Hope this helps and best of luck.
