Bommi has started being rather intolerant of strays that come near my compound wall/gate. She never used to be like that. I first noticed it 4 days back but dismissed it as an one off. (I did correct her verbally for it , which is enough for her).
She was bred July 22nd 2011. I think she has babies in her because she seems a bit heavy and her teats are a bigger than normal.
She has become rather intolerant of her own pack members too.
She shows no aggression towards me and sweet as ever with me.
She used to bark at strays that came near my fence earlier too, but it would be a very mild "woof" , but the past 2-3 days she sounds really angry.
Is this normal with females that may have babies inside them?
Should I correct her more than usual or put a bark collar on her? Will it harm her or the babies?
All my livestock try to "rise" in their position in the herd, or pack, or flock when they have young. A chicken on a nest can be really scary, when normally she's just "chicken".
I think this is normal behavior.

Personally I would prevent her from charging the fence at all, if she's been bred. It's likely to stop on it's own, but she can hurt herself, her pups, and the added stress isn't great for her.
