Hi, i recently come on here and was very kindly given 2 cock birds as i had 4 hens.. i have had them all together now for about 2wks routhly... i seem to have one hen and one cock paired up, it had one egg but they broke it.... do u think i have to many hens or is it ok to have 4 hens to 2 cocks???? is there anything i can do to stop  them breaking the eggs.... thank u for listening......

just keep the pairs in each box fasend up dont let out only when your there to supervise them and then lock them back in box also make sure they have water on tap should do trick till youngens hatch out poss reason for broken eggs is cocks fighting when in wrong box do they all have there own box ?

I would just leave the two pairs to their own devices and remove the two spare hens you shouldn't have any problems then.
