pairs

[hillfamilyloft]

What I do to help with these problems is that I split my breeding section in two different sections. I have more nest boxes then pairs in each. I let the cocks settle to a box about a month or so before I pair. The cocks that bread last year never leave the section. I also have about half the pairs I leave together from last year. This helps them get settled faster. I have a few pair I use for pumpers that never split. One method that I sometimes use is to lock all the cocks up except one. Introduce a hen and let the hen and cock settle to their box. Lock them up and repeat the process. Another strategy I use when I really get fed up is to put 10 cocks and 10 hens in the section and come back in a week. Let them figure it  out. Ha Ha. This works better when you line-breed them all.
