Guest MBpigeonguy Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 can anyone explain why my hens are cooing and dancing and fighting each other, one of them is a proven female 8 years old :-/. the other is a new 2 year old.
Guest Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 dont let it worry u as this is common and some females do look like cocks when they are defending or just showing off to other hens....paul
Guest Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 I find that hens are every bit as demonstrative as cocks, they'll fight off other hens to be a cock's sole attention and they'll sweep and crow as good as any cock can. When in their nest box they'll see off all but the strongest of marauding cocks. Would reckon there's been a rise in temperatures where you live and a bit more sunshine than of late ... it sure stirs them up.
Guest MBpigeonguy Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 yes its been warm and the hens come from a cold loft into a warm sunny greenhouse, but im puzzled why the cock ignore the females /
Guest shadow Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 take the hens out for a day or two then put them back together should make them keener
Guest MBpigeonguy Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 i dont have them together i did yesterday, but the females can see the males from thair cage

Guest Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 Leave the pair in a section on their own for 2/3 days and let nature take its course.
pigeonscout Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 Maybe a drop of wheat germ oil poured over their feed for a couple of days will help.
