Aegis has made a huge mistake twice now, so our routine with him will be changing a bit. The first time, he grabbed Dinky....very gently, but held on to her back leg. He was sternly corrected and has done well for several weeks but last night he started again.
Last night he grabbed Dottie's back leg and drug her across the yard. Every time he does this, it is after barn chores are done, after his evening meal, and he is ready to play. I am sure this is just puppy play, but it has to stop immediately.
He also played with 2 of the turkeys this week. He does really well during the day, and gets more rambunctious in the evening hours. So starting today we will be putting him in the buck pen after barn chores. He can stay with them overnight and we'll put him back with the does in the mornings. Since Satin is already coming into rut, he should be able to curb that playful behavior in no time.
