Did you mean to put this in the rabbits forum? Cause typically poultry don't use those terms

 

oh sorry yeah i meant to be in rabbit forum



but i likey chickens too =)

 

Yeah those buck roosters can sure be a handful...

 

:umno:

In poultry, males are called roosters and females are hens. And, um, a hen would not get fatter. Nor would she be bred. If she mates with the rooster, her eggs would become fertilized and if she sits on them, they would hatch.

...thinking this is either a joke or a very new chicken owner

 

Hahaha, I just popped over from the goat forum. I thought I hit something and went back to the goat forum (I'm using an iPhone).

 

To answer your question about rabbits on this chicken forum----"I" would Never leave them together any longer than it took to do the job which is only seconds if she is ready. If they take care of business in the first minute, I some times leave them together about 10 minutes so he can breed her again.
ALWAYS take your doe to the bucks cage, never the other way. When you put her in----watch Closely, never turn your head or bat a eye---LOL. If she is ready he will take care of business and usually fall over on his side-----I have seen this happen in about 5 seconds after putting her in the cage but some times it takes a minute. If they do nothing in about 5 minutes, I put her back in her cage and try them again the next day. I am being serious about not looking away---not even for 1 second. Thats about all it takes once he starts humping her. You want to watch, so you can know if it happen or not so if it did you can write down the date and put her a bed in on the 28th day. Good Luck!

Since the OP already said he meant to post on the rabbits forum this just seems like mocking and mean.

 

if the buck falls to the side or backwards after mounting the doe is the best sign of a successful mateing . after 10 days you can palitpate the doe and feel the kits in her belly its kind of tricky to do.

Sorry. I missed the post in which the OP stated he meant to post on the rabbit forum.
