pairing irn..

Post by lolorenjo »

i have a 5 yr green hen and 3 yr albino cock..
i decide to breed them..so i try to put them together in aviary (5'x4'x6')
for first time the hen try to chase the cock..so i decide to separate them side by side..
after a few day..i put them together again..it seam more harmony compare to first day..
my question was;
1. is it possible if i let them together in that aviary or i need to separate them again?
2. can i provide them with nestbox for now?
3. can i put another pair side by side?

You can put them together but watch them. If the hen displays aggression then separate them. You can clip a portion of her flights to slow her down and reintroduce them for the third time. Hen aggression is not uncommon in irns and some never stop.
You can place the second pair alongside them but I advise that the pairs bond separately first.

If it is breeding season there then you can provide nest box for them.
