This is actually becoming a real problem. The male is constantly going into the nesting box and getting into a fight with the hen. This is happening at the moment every 5 minutes.

Every single time I leave the room he is in there and she is going off trying to get him out. While doing so the eggs are getting rolled around which I know is terrible as they may not hatch. I have taken the male out all together into another cage for the mean time until I can sort out what to do.

 

Any advice guys?

If it was me, I'd leave the male out and take your chances of the current eggs being okay, and any subsequent eggs being fertilised.....? Otherwise you may not end up with any!

I have to wait until Thursday/Friday until I can candle the eggs to see if they are fertile as the second egg was only layed on Monday.

Male is definitely male ?

I hope so!! lol He is 1 1/2 years old and has a pinky purple beak.

There are four eggs now!
