Breeding my blue eyed irn. Advice needed
Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2011 2:14 pm
Hi guys, I have a green ringneck hen, she is 3 yr old. She has blue eyes, is that normal, I also have a blue 3yr old male. They have Been in the same cage for about 6 months now, she used to chase him and he used to be afraid of her but 2 weeks ago she laid an egg at the bottom of the cage and it was broke. So I put up a nest box. She started scratching straight away, that net on for a week , now she sits in it now scratching occasionally. For the first week the male did not go in. But he does now. He was cleaning her today but they still keep their distance most of the time. They can eat out of the same bowl together now at the same time wereas before he used to be afraid of her. She was handraired but he wasn't . When she sees me she bows and cluks.Will they breed for me? And what colour chicks will they have. And what about the blue eyes in my hen? It is coming into breeding season here. Any info would be great
