Isn't The Cock Meant To Feed The Hen?

hen feeds(regurgirates)to the cock instead of cock feeding hen....

or is this the hen getting the food from the cock?

and my other hen freaks out every time they act cute-preen each other and feed each other etc.

my hens jelous.

and i told her not to worry,that i am getting her a friend tomorrow.

I personally wouldn't put her new friend straight in with her. I would quarantine first.

 

As for the other questions... Are you sure she is feeding him and not him feeding her?

How do you know the hen is feeding the cock and not the other way around?

Are you breeding in an aviary with multiple pairs of birds and nest boxes together?

Or is each pair in its own cage with one nest box?>

As Jimmy said, quarantine first.

the other hens friend comes out of quarinteen tomorrow,

and so far he is healthy :)

and its always the hen bobbing her head then she touches his beak....bobs

i Am thinking that bobbing makes the food come up.
