No he just grabs hers neck then she runs

No he just grabs hers neck then she runs

Could well be 'foreplay' almost... seeing what she does... I think roosters go for the back and neck when attempting to mate... wouldn't worry unless blood is drawn.

Yes, he is trying to mate.

My quail do this.. He tries to mate, first they will graab the girls necks and if she cooporates.. the will crouch down for him.. she might not be ready.

My 2 year old hens have been pecked like that before from my 2 year old rooster. And yes, the rooster is trying to mate.

Quail do the same thing.

Yeah he’s trying, i went through the same with my guy, the first few month he looked like he was hurting them cause he would just grab them and they would run, it caused them to lose a lot of feathers. He also would bite our fingers when we bent down. We really thought he needed culled. After a few months though he calmed down and is now an amazing rooster who takes care of his ladies and they will WILLINGLY mate. He also loves to cuddle and never bites. Just give your guy a few months, he’s still working out how to be a good roo.
