How long after losing the brown crusty cere is it before breeding condition returns? Well I guess I was not fast enough in figuring out the right pairings. I thought for sure that they had bred. But now they have both lost all of the crusty brown skin off of their ceres. Now they both look white and normal. Do I have to wait a whole year? Do I separate the pairs or put them all together? I have 3 pairs. Do I put the girls with the girls and boys with boys or just keep them paired up. Do I remove the nest boxes? Well If anyone has any insight for me It would help. Thanks Dave

If the hens are in the middle of breeding (as in on eggs) leave them to continue but don't let them have another round.

If they have no eggs I would remove the boxes and if you have a flight put them out to rest until ready to breed again.
