fireman 10,774 Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Could he run two hens one either side of the cock and keep the solid devides,let him in with one for half the day,then the other hen for the other half?. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meroman 105 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 In my opinion its fine to run 2 hens with one cock that is out of site divided by a solid cage slide if its canaries because the hens will hear the cock singing to them and will squat readily for him but if its a Native/British cock and the intention is to breed mules a wire divide is essential. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
