My sows are causing me stress at the minute!! Penny and Tuppence are fighting really badly - well in fact it Tuppence bullying Penny. They used to live together and adore each other before they both had littlers, I did try and put them all together in a big pen with all the babies aswell but Tuppence was having none of it and bit Penny quite badly. Now I have separated the babies I tried again and did it step by step - pens next to each other first, then short time in the run then in a clean pen together and all hell broke loose 
I decided to leave them to it and sort out the pecking order but after about an hour there was still chaos and when I took Penny out she was bleeding and beitten about 5 times on her back end, poor little girl
I felt so bad bless her as she is such a sweet girl. So it looks like she will have to be alone for a while until I decide what to try next, They are so worrying arent they!!
Tuppence is back in with her babies for now but I am risking it for now
