Today has not been a good day for Bessie and Gypsy. I had to clean them out inside so used an inside run. I cleaned out my 6 guineas first and then put them back and put Gypsy and Bessie in the same (now empty) run. Gypsy straight away started swaying, rumbling and teeth chattering. Next thing I know they are inside a wooden (big) house and it's lifting off the floor where they are fighting like mad. I shout and take up the house and they carry on teeth chattering but Bessie goes to the pile of grass in the middle and starts to eat. Gypsy goes into an igloo and starts teeth chattering but they are staying apart. Next thing I know Bessie snaps and walks sideways over the igloo and heads inside where all hell breaks out again. I remove all hideys and hope they will settle down but the challenges continue, so I took Bessie out and put her in the guinea carrier.
Once the cage is clean I put them back together and it's business as normal, no fighting and they have been normal since. Gypsy is not a friendly soul, she's the one who started a fight with one of mine and she's always rumbling and barging Bessie out of the way and normally she takes it. I hope things stay as they are and there aren't any further problems....
