They getting along for the most part?

not really.. that Modern is keeping him up on the roost for the most part. She really developed a sense of dominance since I got her.

Eventually they will sort it out and he will be the boss (within a month Im guessing)

1 of 2 things if they close to the same age he shoulda beat her *** so I wouldn't breed him OR if she's way older separate them cause she's gonna take his confidence, he's not ready if he ever will be. He needs to be old enough that he lays it down on her when she tries that. If he's old enough he's Dunghill and shouldn't be bred. props to the hen though

She is older and bigger than him still. Plus she has been in there as the dominant hen for months now... I just think this modern has the mental edge on him.

I dont think anything is wrong with the stag, just young still.. I probably should let him build confidence before penning them together, but I've done similar in the past and dont think I've ever had an issue.

 

[sdm111]

Ok, I would (remove) since she's a B ( which is good ) she's gonna need a headstrong male. At least 1.5yrs old I'd say. imo keeping him in there is gonna ruin him. But that's just me.

 

[JShubin]

thats good advice.. I have his pen still vacant. I may just do that if he is still running scared... I dont want him to miss any food because he wont come down.

 

[sdm111]

If he started running he's not gonna change. And then if she gets real ****** u may find him scalped in the corner

I like that advice, them hens are something else.
