Sisters or hen he is out of wheaton? Mine is a cross between two dom strains. One is Kentucky Dom. Mine also looks more gangly now even though he is starting to develop more feathering.

The hens in this line come three colors a lightly barred tan a barred grey and almost a solid tan color. This is the hen I have.

Tried putting a ruble hen in with a stag last night in the dark. Not happening. Put her on the roost and immediately she was on him. She stayed on top of him teeing off on his head while still on the roost. No luck had to put her back by herself. He would end up killing her for that nonsense.

You ever tried letting them out differences on neutral turf like can be supplied with a larger pen? My bullstags are pretty clear hen they pose a threat to a pullet or hen so if interest is for a breeding where I do not have to watch all the time, then I put them in a pen neither knows with a couple extra roost poles and a nest the hen can get into where stag cannot get on top of her even to peck. Preference is to use 10 x 10 dog pens but 4 x 5 x 4 bird pens can work also.


Another option my be to place her in with a confident cock that will put her in her place but go no further, then while in that brief mind set where she does not feel like she owns the world. you can try to put her in with stag of your choice.

Might try a supervised asswhippin. So far so good here guess I shouldn't jinx myself lol
Rubles are hot headed anyway

You got to supervise when in tight confinement. My breeding fish kill a lot more frequently than games when confined.

I know the things to do differently. I was just moving birds around to open up pen space and get all stags off the yard. She has her own pen normally anyway.
I did put a blue stag in with a 2.5 yr old blue hen with no issues whatsoever

It's funny how some settle in just fine and others take a little work. If only they all got along.

I am trying to find out more about the doms. They all look different from what I remember as a kid. They used to be low to medium stationed with straight combs. Most I am seeing, which not many, are higher stationed with pea combs. Those I saw here in Kentucky but they were not called Kentucky Doms, just doms.
