Hi,
I just got a mature rooster for my flock as I want to breed them. I have 4 hens and he is doing really well since I only got him yesterday. None of my hens have been in contact with a rooster before but it appears they have all hit it off with him. He is picking up food and dropping it for them to eat, he does this weird head shake when he is near one hen in particular. When do you think he will mate with one of them? What signs do I look for?
Cheers
