Should I Separate. Advice Please

[maxdawn]

I have 3 pigs 2 sows 1 boar. They have lived together may. One of the sows is the boss pig. Yesterday she was bossing the boar around chasing him ect. But tonight the under sow started wiggling her butt at boss sow and a second later the 2girls were stood up on their back legs trying to bite/ nip each other's face. I ran over to them clapping my hands loudly. I have taken boss sow out. I have checked both girls and they havent hurt ech other. Should I keep her separate. She can get very hormonal at times but this is always been aimed at the boar chases, humps him. But

I would put them back together as long as they are only having stand offs to sort out the hierarchy and not real fights; it is likely that both sows have been/are coming into season, but do so only if you can supervise. Take all hideys out of the cage. it is likely that both sows have been/are in season, which is often a trigger for dominance issues. How old are your girls?

I think the under sow is moving her way up the ranks she was the under pig of the 3 but is now second in command and now trying for the top pig. But the other girl like being the boss alot. The girl were both born around easter so around 9 months.
Thanks @Wiebke

You have to let them sort it out. Serious fights amongst sows are rare; it is more likely a series of stand-offs where they measure up against each other until one of girls' nerves break. Then there is some chasing and a series of follow up face-offs until the dominance is firmly established again. Keep an eye on them, but hopefully they will settle down again.
