Video 1 video 2 would those 2 short mating sessions be enough to fertilise the hen, or will they need to do it much more often......... Shes been going in the nestbox quite a bit but only stays in there a little while then come back out....... The male has never been inside, he seems afraid to go in......is this normal ? he does sit up on the perch near the entrance but she oftens chases him away Jason Edited November 9, 2010 by Jasonwr6000 Link to comment

The male might start to enter the nest box when the hen is sitting on eggs or the chicks have hatched as he will take an active part in feeding them. Link to comment
