Introductions When In Season?

[Dilly's Piggies]

I'm picking up a new baby sow tomorrow, she is 6 weeks old, my plan is to have her live with my trio of girls Tizzie, Lottie and Harriet, however Tizzie and Harriet are currently in the middle of a seasonal dominance dispute, they're just rumbling, chasing, humping and Tizzie is pulling out a little of Harriet's hair, nothing too serious just the usual behaviours. I'm just a bit worried about introducing a new piggy whilst they are in the middle of this, would it be better to wait until they've calmed down or should I just go for it?

I would wait in all honesty. Bonding into that will be very stressful for all

Better wait until things have calmed down again in a day or two!
