Posted November 9, 201014 yr I have a webcam set up in the spare room and finally got some video of the birds mating.... 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, 201014 yr by Jasonwr6000
November 9, 201014 yr Yes looks all good to me. 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.
