ShaggyRS6 0 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I have 2 Jills arriving tomorrow. Not sure if they are in season yet, doubt it. Brian goes in for the Knot on Friday. My question is..... Should I keep Brian in the big hutch on his own? Should I give the 2 girls the hutch and Brian in the little one or vis-versa Or should Brian go in the small hutch and not be introduced to the girls until the vet says he can. I hope that makes sense. Quote Link to post
ShaggyRS6 0 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 So I should keep the boy seperate from the chicks at all times? Even when breeding is over? I thought they could go in together? Quote Link to post
leegreen 2,221 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Hello Shaggy, if your hobb is being versectomised then he will still act like a full tackled hobb and may bully your jills so a good idear to keep them seperate while they are all in season. I would give the jills the big hutch. Quote Link to post

leegreen 2,221 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 did you use the vet in Paddockwood? Quote Link to post
ShaggyRS6 0 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 did you use the vet in Paddockwood? Nope, my own vets are gonna match the price So I can put them all in together after breeding season? Quote Link to post
Kay 3,709 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 If the hob is yet to be vasectomised & you DONT want a litter from the new jills then keep the hob seperate . even when he has been vasectomised allows at least 6 to 8 weeks before putting him anywhere near the jills as he could still be able to impregnate them hope this helps Quote Link to post
ShaggyRS6 0 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Thanks all. My concern was I could not have them all in together after the post op cool down Quote Link to post
cubby 3 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 i have a hob and two jills together all year and he is snipped and they get on brill Quote Link to post
ShaggyRS6 0 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Well we transfered Brian to the original hutch this morning in preperation for the girls arrival. Not sure if he has the hump cos he is running round like a loon making chimp noises and throwing sawdust everywhere Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 all animals are Inividuals mate, you need to keep and eye on yours, and see how they react, someone could have hob and jills that live together without a hitch, you do the same, and have world war two on your hands, once your hob is snipped and as kay suggests, a couple of months down the line, introduce them, if your jills are in season, he'll bring them out of it, then sit back and watch, only you can see how they are doing with each other many years ago, I took the advice that ALL jills and hobs would live fine together, so Intrduced a hob to my 3 jill court, they are him Quote Link to post
