Don't know - probably and further prevarications. I might just roll with it and clean up the mess later, so to speak.Will you let her set?
The problem is fundamentally I think I should let her. It's just not very convenient right now. There is a Dig problem still and in these keeping circumstances I don't have many options. With the tribes in Catalonia when a hen sat and hatched the junior rooster became responsible for keeping an eye on them. The senior rooster isn't really interested in the hen because she isn't laying eggs and usually becomes interested in the pullets when they start to lay eggs. I imagine the junior rooster also has an eye on the pullets with a view to furthering his own genes. Some tribes did better than others with such an arrangement. I don't think Dig can do what he might free ranging and Henry is likely to too close by the majority of the time for Dig to avoid Henry's displeasure.
Dig is learning some don't do things, but his drive to mate when he can seems to weaken his memory badly.
