My hen has again laid some eggs, 4 so far, and from what I can see they are infertile again. The first one is anyway. I am giving her more time to incubate them just in case but I haven't seen Tweedle mating with her. Am I doing something wrong? She is such a good mother, she sits on the eggs from the first one she lays and stay glued to them for the whole time. Dad does feed her so is doing that bit OK but I just think he's not mating with her. Should I try another male? I will leave her until the last eggs hatch date, the last lot she abandoned after that time, and then wait for the next round of breeding condition. Giving her time to recover from this round.

Try her with another male, but not when she is incubating as the new male will be attacked.
Separate them first and then try her with another male.

I was thinking of trying her with one of my new males. The other 3 males are, one with FM and 2 that came from the same aviary so not sure if she is related. She was in the nursery cage with one of them but the other one was in the aviary so must have been a bit older although they both look identical to each other. The hen is similar but is a cinnamon. i am wary of interbreeding.

Trying her with new male would be advisable in this situation.
