Hi - I hatched some runners this year and now they have all reached maturity, I have separated them as I have 10 boys and 5 girls. I did this a week and a half ago, and a couple of the girls have been quacking a lot since, which encourages the quieter ones to join in. They would stop when the boys came to see them during their free range time, but we have just gone into 'flockdown' for avian flu so it has ramped up even more!
I have moved the girls into a run where they can see the boys today to see if that helps.
My next solution would be put one of the boys back in with them.
Just wanting to know from others experiences if this will help? or if they will settle down eventually?
many thanks
