Recently placed a hen in with my two males. The two males now seem to be at each other all the time. If I was to take one of the males out and into a separate enclosure, would this help with them trying to breed? Or does having the two males in there create some healthy competition?

An extra male will almost always cause grief. Split them up.

I agree, take one out. Extra males are shockers for coitus interuptus.

Some less tech savy members (myself included) have to wait till we can collar a more tech savy relo to put an avatar on for us. Kids do have their uses.

Anyone who has a pic they want to use as their avatar can email it to me and I will load it on for them if they are having trouble doing it.

Well my stars have built there nest in some brush so hopefully after seeing them mate a few times over the last couple of days, there might be some magic taking place in the new nest.
