I have two pairs who live separately and their runs are 90 degree angles to each other, one across the back fence and one down the side, and the closest corners of the runs are only approx 5 feet apart. They can see each other all day long with no issues. But when one pair free range I have to either confine the other pair to the shed, or temporarily box in the others run with plywood so they can't see the free ranging pair. If I don't we get scuffles from the pair in the run, or shed.
I understand this is referred aggression, and there is probably not a lot I can do to stop it, but how do those of you with lots of buns cope with this? It's like a military operation each time I want to let the buns free range and I'm always on tenderhooks.
Any ideas?
