My 6 boys do a lot of pooping(farting what ever you wanna call it) and it sticks when there do

when max poops he namally dose a poop 5min later so we know when to put him back

but the others just poop
 
Do you feed them a lot of gassy veg? Cabbage/kale/broccoli are prime culprits for gas if they're fed regularly. Some pigs are more prone to farting than others and should have those veggies cut right back if they get worse.
 
yeah there have leafy stuff in and moring and at night (with other veg aswell)

it only seems to be the boys my girls dont do it well my lilly dose but she a tomboy
 
Cut it right back to maybe once or twice a week. Gassy (cruciferous) veg should only be an occasional and not a staple. You could gradually introduce something like romaine lettuce which can be fed daily or coriander (which is quite expensive but very good for them). I've never had a problem with tooting pigs and mine love to have the likes of cabbage and kale as a very occasional treat.

If you're not sure about what you can feed daily have a look at this chart here - it's colour coded according to how often they're allowed different types of veg.
