i observed in the hen of my first pair that during her nesting I always see her going outside but still she manage to hatch the eggs....Then now what im observing with the hen of my second pair is very different.. I dont even see her going outside the nestbox ^^.. They are really opposite of each other...So does the male of my second pair feed the hen??:):)

Yes. Your second hen has her mate trained right! It's the male's job to feed the hen while she incubates the eggs. Your first hen needs to take lessons from your second one! :) She's the independent exception.......

well just need to wait for the eggs to hatch.. im expecting the eggs will hatch on the 3rd week of june.. so excited to see new chicks.. The chicks of my first pair are all now doing great and the parents still dont kick them but i already brought a cage in case that will happen ^^:happy:
