My hens and rooster are enemies

[gimmie birdies]

I have 7-8 of his fertile hen's eggs in incubator. He has not mated my older hens, whose eggs i really want to hatch.

Everyday for 30 minutes I open up both the run and the coop so they can see each other.

They need to be able to see each other all day every day during the see-don't-touch period.

This integration pen was set up in my run when I was introducing my first new flock members and I've used variations on this setup ever since.
