I believe it;s "when Pigs fly" but I don't know the origin
Hey looky here! From Wickipedia:
The idiom is apparently derived from a centuries-old Scottish proverb, though some other references to pigs flying or pigs with wings are more famous. Here is one such reference from Lewis Carroll:
"Thinking again?" the Duchess asked, with another dig of her sharp little chin.
"I've a right to think," said Alice sharply, for she was beginning to feel a little worried.
"Just about as much right," said the Duchess, "as pigs have to fly...." — Alice in Wonderland, chapter 9.
Thanks for asking I just love Phrase and word origin stuff!!

It's an expression of sceptisism. Something unimaginable.
