mr. birdaholic :

I if they are regurgitating in each other mouths how long will it be before they lay eggs. I seen one mount another yesterday as well same two birds.​

 

[Mary Of Exeter]

Probably a couple weeks. Do they have a nest?

Yep. ...... Oh wait do you mean do I know if they have a nest picked out?

 

[Mary Of Exeter]

Yeah, does the male have a certain box/bowl he is calling and driving her to? Make sure they have plenty of nesting material too!

I am really not sure i havent seen. Their coop is about nine feet high. So i really cant see inside.

 

[OzawkieBantams]

Ok yes i have seen one standing on a nest box alone. I assume thats the male. While all the other birds are hanging in the trees.

Once the c*ck starts driving her most hens will lay within 10 days or so.

Wow much longer then I thought.
Will the Male have more then one mate? I have noticed the one male driving more then one bird.
