Richie10 345 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Yep normal, they need to assert dominance over the female or the female will not mate. Once they mature it will get better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Richie10 345 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Is he constantly hitting her? Or just keeping her in check? Are the ideally matched? I usually have an older pullet with a young Stag so that he gain respect for her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
