Hi!
I'm super worried about one of my girls and was looking for advice from anyone!
I have 4 sows, all about 4 months old now. They seem to get on okay, do the odd stand off and dominance, but I've just gone in the give them their evening veg and seen a little cut on one of the girls eye!
Obviously I have had a melt down and don't know what to do, It might even be hay but I can imagine its from a kick or scratch.
I will attach a photo of her and their set up, I really don't think Its the space, they have a really big enclosure at the moment, and the hidey they all stay in have 2 exits. They have plenty of food, hay and water. I've never really seen them fight at all, just the odd dominance but now I'm totally panicking!
Any advice or anything at all would really help! Thank you!

It could be a bite, but then again she could have caught a sharp piece of hay or even caught her face on a sharp edge. Try not to panic, but as Claire said keep an eye out for any fighting between the girls
PS she is gorgeous 🥰
 
Well I've just watched them on a monitor for 2 hours and there's been the odd 'go away' nip but they all seem to be getting on okay. Just so glad it's not made an eye injury!
Her name is chickpea and she is so sweet... may aswell show the others now..
