3 in 1
3 in 2
3 in 3
0 in 4
I guess 0 is arguably even, though. But oh well
Nope!
Are the pens pig-pens as in a caged area for the pigs, or are they writing pens?
9 in 1
0 in 2
0 in 3
0 in 4

This isn't possible with 4 pens, 9 pigs, and only odd numbers.
Sure it is.
Ergot, thats like deadlys pic! You totally had no right doing that with my joke!~
EDIT -
AIM/MSN/YIM/PM me for the answer.
Hint: They add up to more than 9.
Hint: They aren't all equal.
Hint: For this puzzle, 0 is an even number.
Your riddle is off then idiot. I applaude you.

Hint: They add up to more than 9.
Then your riddle is wrong?
Again, contact me for the answer. Man, I can't believe none of you can get this.
Well your riddle is fucking stupid.
You can't say "you have 9 pigs" and then say "you can have more than 9 pigs"
No, I said that the pens add up to more than 9, not that there are more than 9 pigs. Why don't you ask for the answer before calling my riddle stupid, seeing as how you clearly aren't making any effort to solve it.
Well if you put it that way... (http://www.javaop.com/~ergot/pigs2.jpg) Then this is a very stupid riddle :/
Fine. Allow me to correct how your riddle sucks:

You said
they, you didn't address if it was the pigs or the pens.
I thought that by saying 9, you would understand. Yes, more than 9 addresses the pigs.
Ergot, your on the right track.
[[[[9]]]]
or
[4[2[2[1]]]]
Congrats!
I was actually looking for [ [ XXX ] [ XXX ] [ XXX ] ], which adds up to 18 (good game, deadly), but your answer is basically the same.
