Malt 379 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Short answer - probably.. I had two hobs from kits in a court alongside four Jill's. Once they started to mature, I had to rehome one because he was on at the other hob non stop. You should be ok over the winter, but keep an eye on them because they'll all start comming into season once the days start getting longer at the end of the winter. You'll need to separate them then and maybe think about getting the Jill's taken out of season because they'll stay in all summer long.. Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Your hobs will be ok until they mature next spring when the days grow longer, then they will more than likely need splitting up, odd hobs do get on all year round, but most dont 1 Quote Link to post
