The activist allegedly broke into the chicken farm in Canningvale some time between July 12 and 14 last year.
McGeachin fronted Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday and has indicated she will plead guilty to both incidents.
McGeachin was initially charged after allegedly posting a series of videos featuring her and others inside the piggery with baby pigs.
She shared distressing footage showing piles of dead piglets in a stall with a live sow with her 70,000 Instagram followers.

Other videos showed partially buried pig carcasses and McGeachin cradling the rescued piglets.
In a later Instagram highlights reel titled 'court', McGeachin said she was 'interrogated' about the animals after eight police officers raided her home.
'We rescued piglets a few months ago and I am now being charged with rescuing them,' she said.
She later told her Instagram followers the animals had been confiscated and she was worried they would be euthanised.
'I don't know how they are or where they are, which sucks,' she said in a video.
'They said I could be facing a $6,000 and a conviction.
'Just for rescuing piglets that were in a factory farm.'
McGeachin also told her followers she was 'planning on entering a guilty plea'.
She is expected to appear in court on Tuesday.
Police previously said three other women were also charged following an alleged theft at the piggery.
It is understood McGeachin intends to plead guilty to both the July and November break-ins
