Agnes in season?

[Jenwah]

I think Agnes is in heat, as she's grumpy, picking on Gertrude and doing a "rumblestrut" and keeps chasing and smelling Gertrude's bum and biting her ear.
Is it a good idea, just split Agnes up or should I just leave them to it?

I just don't want Gertrude getting hurt.

Thanks for any help

Please do not split them up. This is perfectly normal behaviour. Gertrude will be in season next and displaying the same behaviour. There is always a more dominant piggy and to us it may look mean but it is the way they live and healthy.
