8 month old java peahen layed an egg. She has no male. Do I move her to a male or let a male loose with he?
She is java green, the only males I have that I can let loose to free range with her are india blue. (dont have a java male at all). If I move her wont that upset her and she will stop laying? If I move the male wont that risk her laying in the bushes somewhere and getting eaten by coyote? And is it all totally irrelevant because I was told rarely a yearling peahen will lay fertile eggs but only late in the season and only exposed to an older male. Apparently this particular peahen did not read the rules. She hatched in June of 07, is free ranging with chickens and guineas while all the males are penned up. Yet I have a pea egg that has to be hers. I actually need the male with the india blue females. Should I let them all out? Or can he be out long enough to service her, then rejoin the blues? This has caught me totally off guard really need some expert advice. She didn't even lay it in the evening. She layed it between 9:30 and 10 am.Teresa
