females bickering is this normal?

[tab]

hi i have 4 sows in a group i have never kept a group before only baors in

pairs is it normal for some bickering to go on? i have found a scab on the

nose of 1 of my sows i think there could be a challanger for head of the

group as the 1 with the bite is the most dominant is this ok and will they sort

it out between them is it normal? she does tend to put the other 2 in there

place and being that they keep out of her way they seem ok.

can someone give me some advice please? are sows like this most of the time

and could it be due to season times.

With more sows, things can get lively, especially when they are still fairly newly together and one of them is in season. There can be quit a bit of bickering...

I have 6 sows together at the moment so you can imagine the PMT in my house I would keep an eye on it though as drawing blood may mean separating
