My first hatch are now at my allotment one cock one hen, 3 months old .I have tried to put the hen with my other hens but when i do the cock just goes to a corner of his run and stays there not doing anything no eating or drinking ,so i have had to put the hen back in with him. Though i have hatched him he is far from tame ,if i go anywhere near him he shreaks and panics and runs away from me so letting him out of his coop for a run about is difficult as i say when i want to get him in he is a nightmare, and one of my allotment neighbours think i am cruel to him any advice.

thanks Andy
