Got a stock cock forcing his own hen off the nest.
They had 1 round which I floated after 10 days then when down again and been sitting for another 10 days.
I watched them this morning and every time the hen went to sit the cock bullied her off and he just stands in the nest bowl without sitting and the eggs have gone cold.
Is there any reason for this....?
