Need advice…
My jumbo Pekin drake & my welsh Harley hen want to mate BUT…. It looks like he’s going to drown her bc of his size & weight compared to hers. I separate them unless I am outside bc I really don’t want to find her floating dead in their pool. However, when they are together, it.is.ON (lol) almost immediately . I let them do their thing but end up intervening bc he holds her under water for so long! The question is… shall I just keep them separated all the time right now OR continue letting them try & intervening if she’s under for too long?
