Balfie3
New Born Pup
So this may be a stupid question again but here we go. So my boar is well with his two wives, of course there is occasional dominance behaviour from him, just the normal. However, a few weeks ago they got a new hay rack which is about 70cm long so they can all quite comfortably sit with distance between them. My submissive (or previously submissive) sow loves her hay the most and recently she has been nipping at my boar.
Alfie doesn't run away, he just backs off. My previously dominant sow (who I thought was in the middle of the new hierarchy) gets chased away by the submissive one.
Neither of them are in heat, and they are both still teenagers, being about 8-9 months right now. Maybe I'm overreacting as this hasn't happened before and I didn't think much of it at first but this has been happening everyday for the past 4 days, my texel runs away screeching and my abyssinian chases her away. Otherwise they are fine around eachother, at least I think so. I never actually see what causes the chasing but I just hear my girl screaming. Does this maybe mean my dominant girl is now bottom of the heirarchy?
Thank you ahead for the help!
