He looks to have broken his neck. He his the father of 20 week old chicks and has left kiki his mate. My worry is now for kiki the hen the chicks are now well established and can fend for themselves but I am worried that kiki will pine for him Will she be ok or do you reccomend I introduce a new cock into the aivery Back to top pabloc Foundation Member Joined: Sep 26, 2007 Posts: 988 Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2011 11:33 am    Post subject: mick, sorry about your loss about the new kike for your widow hen, I guess she will be fine if she has the youngsters around, she will socialize, etc... but a new male won't hurt neither, especially if you want to breed again.

Would it be better for me to remove the eggs Back to top Steptoe Site Admin Joined: Oct 06, 2004 Posts: 4550 Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 5:09 pm    Post subject: How did he break his neck???

Dont worry about it ..she will manage fine If something hsppens to the female, the malke just gets on with the job raising the chicks....and visa versa. _________________ My Spelling is Not Incorrect...It's 'Creative' Back to top 456FANCLUB Snr Member Joined: Jul 13, 2010 Posts: 104 Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 8:24 pm    Post subject: Mick when "AJ" reared her chicks she fed them herself. "Sarah" her mate would feed "AJ" but wasn't allowed near the nest box or the chicks untill they fledged. "AJ" also would feed herself. I think why this happened to them was that there was only one very large nest box at the time in the avairy. ( my Fault). So fingers crossed with the eggs Kiki i believe will cope very well.

Not sure how long he had been there He had been very healthy leading up to then. I had been working away from home my wife was looking after the birds.
