Quick question, what’s the best accommodation for widowhood hens at this time of year? They’ve been currently kept in a loft with access to an aviary at the weekends, due to be paired within the next few weeks so are quite proud and flirty but in order to get a few tweaks done to the loft they use, options are to leave them in the aviary 24/7 on poles? Or put them in the YB section where there’s box perches? Every reply will be much my appreciated 😊

I've no option other than keeping them on wid/hens perches and they do pair,I exercise them daily and feed them less than 1oz a day but get the odd few that pair.I have to lock one of the pair in a darkened box and alternate this daily with the other hen,then as I take the hen out of the box I put it in with it's cock for a couple of minutes.It's a pain but as I race these hens it is a big problem if they pair again when it comes to racing.
