I hatched this guy a few months ago and he seems to be the dominant male and i plan on using him in my breeding pen. when will he start courting the females?
Note: All 3 pics are of the same male

At 18-20 weeks of age for the most part.

In Most Parts Of The Country He May Start As Soon As Mid January

I dont know much about ringnecks, but my ornamentals come and go.
I have a buddy who raises Lady Amherst and his male courts EVERYDAY OF THE YEAR!!!!!

Hey everyone I have another question. Is courting and mating the same thing?

 

[Robo]

Not exactly, courting is like competing for a mate, and mating is fertilizing the eggs.

That's a good way to describe it.
