Mak was in this morning briefly, but since then iv'e kept him out and intend to keep it that way. I still haven't saw her eat, she's been to the iodine block, she's drank and i saw her at the seed dish but she doesn't appear to eat the seed. All she's been doing so far is Squarking, and wanting the male. Im a little worried as she did this last year and got a little on the thin side, i don't want her too thin when she's got chicks too feed.

But i'll probably be back to school on monday, so even if i wanted too i can't put Mak in on the weekdays (i wouldn't risk it). So i thought it might be better for her to get used to being on her own. She could be eating when im out the room im not sure. The males been in the cage for a brief time this morning, and eaten some of the seed so i can't tell if the husks are from him or her. I'll take a look tommorow. I was also going to get some millet see if that encourages her too eat, but that will have too wait until im able to go down the street. right now she just seems content squarking at the male. I don't want too risk keeping him in the cage full time though, even though he hasn't cracked any eggs this time, he nearly has when he moved the eggs.

Some of my hens totally stop eating while breeding and entirely rely on cocks to feed them. It's normal.
