It sounds as if she has become the object of his mating desires. That is not good as drakes have a penis whereas roosters do not. Drakes mating chicken hens can potentially result in their death. It's time to separate them.

Thank you so much for the reply Do you think this is a forever thing or do you think once the spring is over he will get over it

A lot depends upon the drake. Most seem to calm down after the major breeding season is over.
