then you doing something right but you might need to box them  or a pair of old hens nesting on floor will stop them pairing

as they will get chased off the floor

The best way to deal with this is to get yourself a job so that you are away all day. I have to see to my birds early and I do not see them again until I get home. That was what made me want to fly widowhood in the first place.

You are right about one thing though, widowhood cocks need to rest.

ive got a stock pair in there so hope fully he will kepp them off the floor as hes very aggresive over his bowl
