DUBLINFLYER Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 just leave them separated for a couple of days h will eventually take to her, best of luck when i say separated i mean leave her in the hen side of the box.....or maybe throw them into a spare section on their own for a day or two... but if you do dat dont forget to close his box up
Guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 But something in the box (like a brick) where she can get up and out the way from the cock and make sure it only big enough for one bird to get on. He'll soon get bored of attacking her!
Blue Chequer Pied Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 If you have a spare section put the two of them in it and they will pair easier. Alternatively if all the others have paired and are locked in the boxes let him and both the hens you have tried him with have the run of the section and hopefully one will take to him and he can entice her into his box. Remember to close up his box if you put him into another section so that another cock does not take it over as well as his own or you will get fighting. Paul.
newbold Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 leave her in one side ov nest box locked in and let him to fly in and out ov other side ov box you will find in a day or two they will be beaking and then open box to them

Guest joshdonlan Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 Can usually be a problem with young cocks being too aggressive with their hens.
Guest IB Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 You'll have trouble because the hen will now have lost any desire to go into the box, she'll associate it with getting a battering. So start by locking up their box and giving them a section to themselves for a few days. When the hen regains her confidence and is down on the floor with her cock in a corner, lock all the other birds in their boxes in their section open their box, and let the cock make his way back to it; the hen will follow and he'll try calling her into it. She'll still be very nervous so when she does go in, do not lock her in, leave the box open to make sure she can get out if he starts on her again. Takes a good few days, and lots of patience.
Roland Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 Just forget it and race unmatedwith a hen shown before and after the races.
