[stew 75]

a hen i had paired up laid her second egg to day took eggs away put under sitters. i now wish to pair her to different cock how long should i wait before pairing her up again  cheers stew75

[Seanthecamman]

maybe give it a day to recover first

 

Ive got a wee hen that laid an egg yesterday lost its cock 2 days ago and now its nearly paired up to another cock today. sean

You should let the hen sit dummy eggs for a couple of days then odd her off for a few days and then repair her.

[stevie]

i would leve her for 5 days

[birdman55678]

I personally would wait 7 days until I paired her again and then only in a individual pen or one without the other cock in it.  good luck.  Ed

pair her to another cock 10/14 days time you took the eggs away to soon let her get right again if you have widow hen boxs put her in one 3/4 days before repairing and dont let her have any contact with the cock she was already paired to.

put her in a box on her own,,,,and shell soon tell you [cheers stew ;D]

Hi Stew

Look after the hen and let her sit 8 to 10 days with a further 3 day break of seeing her old cock.

;Di asked the same question last month under"floating eggs" had some very good advice given , take a look before doing anything Stew ??       andy

take the cock away, let the hen sit dummy eggs, she will come off them herself, then will be ready to pair again, so long as the other cock is not present, put another ccock in her nest too qhick and she will not like it,
