4 sows. Eldest being very aggressive today.

Hopefully they will settle down soon. It is difficult because it can look worse to us than it actually is for them.

For example, my first are a pair of boars. When they hit their teens, the top pig went on a ‘rampage’. He had a hormone spike and was incessantly chasing, teeth chattering, rumble strutting and mounting his friend. This went on for several hours and I was worried the underpig would eventually snap and turn on top pig. Luckily they were a good match and it eventually calmed down. I remember I didn’t get much sleep that night before going to work. And I was stressed while at work. But checking the camera helped because I could see there was nothing happening. And my husband didn’t report anything more.

If they like each other enough it will calm down. But do be prepared for strong seasons.
 
Thank you .

I think weighing is the answer .
i f the youngest teddy does not flourish I will blame the eldest and separate her to see what happens? Thankfully the youngest has a good appetite when she is allowed.

the youngest had a serious accident/attack in the first few days. Either a bite or a claw behind the ear. Surprised she survived.

so I’m not letting her be damaged further .

without favouritism.
