Almond Joy · Jun 8, 2014

I have 3 doe 2yr old twins and a 1yr old . Went out to feed and water yesterday and 1yr old is chasing her from one end of pen to other . Older one would find place in taller grass and just drop and hide . 15 mins later same thing all over ? There only 3 deer I have and there my pets I don't even want think about having to get rid of one . I have probably close to 2000ft of fence up and few deer farms I have been to pens were much smaller with more deer . Have separated now I am concerned that could make it worse ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks

Welcome to the forums. Odds are They will settle down in a few days, mine do this from time to time, it's just a youngster challenging the older doe. They will figure out their pecking order. If it persist for weeks then I would get concerned, or if one starts injuring the other. I would not worry too much just yet. Let us know how they are doing in a few days

Thank you for the advise and I will def update . Had a chance to see there 1st interaction after opened gate and it almost looked like 2yr old takes off running and then youngster goes after her . Not sure if she wupped up on her in past couple days and she is hauling tail to avoid another one . Doing good job of getting away from her far as I can tell anyhow . Thanks again
