Could I Have 2 Chirpers?

[Cookie16]

I have 5 pigs, 2 adults and 3 under a year, not related to the adults. Rosie, one of my older girls is a chirper but I think I could have 2!

Earlier I heard a strange noise, went into the kitchen and realised it was chirping, but it stopped as I got there. The pigs, as I'd expect, we're all in a trance like state, I could even stroke my most nervous pig without her moving. At this point I assumed it was Rosie, but I did think it was strange that she looked very settled herself.

Two minutes later it started again, and stopped when I went back. So I sat quietly and waited! Nothing happened but what was clear was, that only Maisy (5 months) was active. Could this be the chirper?

I know it's quite rare for pigs to chirp, but could I have two?

I have one chirper and it is the best sound ever- You are lucky if you have two as you have more chance of hearing it so rare they ever chirp when you are about - I have thought of setting up a video camera - perhaps that's what you need to do so you can catch them at it and see which of your piggies is singing

It can be quite a job to figure out who is the chirper, or if there are indeed two, especially as they usually stop whenever you come closer.
